Do you guys believe that in order to be a successful consultant, you should first start out in auditing

Hi Yusuf, thanks for your question. We offer consulting graduate programmes so you do not need to start out in audit. The skills you gain from each programme will differ so it depends on what you are looking to gain from them.

Audit will definitely give you transferrable skills, however, consulting also requires different skills that you will not be able to get from audit. There are also different types of consulting (eg, business, technology, risk) so they might need more technical skills.
