Looking for a graduate career that combines professional qualification, meaningful work and real responsibility from day one?

Join the National Audit Office's Graduate ACA Training Scheme and work towards becoming an ICAEW Chartered Accountant while helping improve public services and hold government to account.

As a Graduate Audit Associate, you'll gain hands-on experience working with some of the UK's largest public sector organisations, developing skills in audit, analysis, communication and professional judgement. You'll learn how organisations use data, technology and AI to deliver services and manage risk, while building a career in a profession that continues to evolve.

We welcome applications from graduates from all degree disciplines. You do not need an Accountancy or Finance degree. We're looking for curious, analytical individuals who enjoy solving problems, working with others and learning new skills.

What you'll receive

  • Fully funded ACA qualification and ICAEW membership
  • Competitive salary with increases throughout the programme
  • 25 weeks' paid study leave
  • 35 days' holiday (inclusive of public holidays)
  • Civil Service pension scheme
  • Hybrid working
  • Structured training, support and career development

This is an opportunity to gain a prestigious professional qualification, develop highly transferable skills and make a real impact through your work.

Apply early. We recruit on a rolling basis and may close applications once vacancies are filled.
