KPMG-STYLE ASSESSMENT 
TEST QUESTIONS & ANSWERS!

ANSWER = TRUE

EXPLANATION: In this test, you will need to read the question and then navigate to the correct tab containing the information. In this case, the question states that the profits made in the last quarter were £42,100. Your task is to find the correct tab containing the data that would validate the claim as true, false or impossible to say. This question states: “In the last quarter of 2022, the total profits were £42,100.” To break this down into steps, we need to do the following:

STEP 1: Find the correct tab which contains the data. In this case, the total profits tab contains the correct data set.

STEP 2: Analyse the data contained in the tab to locate the correct data to validate.

STEP 3: Make the required calculation. In this case, the last quarter of 2022 is October, November and December. Add the three figures; 12.2 + 13.4 + 16.5 = 42.1. 42.1 x 1,000 = £42,100. So we can validate this statement as true.
