KPMG cannot implement software project as do management failures. Need to completely overhaul. Wastage of time is problematic in budgets.

Very truthful! I just left KPMG and now work for a local firm (<200 employees) and WE are paperless. It has been great!

The long hours were right on as well – my friends were wondering why I had to sneak away at 10pm to call them to say I’ll try to talk to them on my half day off on Sunday!

As a current KPMG employee, this is hilarious. We are the only firm who hasn’t gone paperless and we get questions about it all the time. Even some non Big 4 firms such as Grant Thornton and BDO are paperless. Our firm didn’t invest the necessary funds in technology a few years ago and we’re paying the price now. We are supposedly going paperless next year, but I’ll believe it when I see it.

That’s the thing isn’t it. With all the new technology organisations are becoming more transparent whether they like it or not.

Easiest way to deal with it IMO is to keep your own house in order. Then the transparency issue actually works for you rather than against.
