KPMG Drug Test?

I'm asking this question because I heard KPMG stopped in 2011, but no substantial source for that (read: I read it on the interwebs).

Anybody know if KPMG drug tests for new consulting/accounting hires? If a gold star has the answer I'll throw down a SB fo sho dawgggg

they tested me for everything, passed on all but 2, i got heroin and cocaine the wrong way round. Schoolboy error, but live and learn.

How does that happen though?
 

I know someone who recently started there, they were not tested for anything, well not yet anyways.

Yea my friend is starting this summer too and hasn't been drug tested yet. That's who I'm asking for, worried he might get drug tested on arrival

If he stops now and regulary works out he should be fine for all drugs, don't think they start for like 2 months.

KPMG as a company doesn't drug test but if you are working for big clients like JP Morgan that have strict no drug policies, you will get tested. I'm in the consulting practice and I remember at my new hire training that a guy in the forensics practice was pulled from half a day of training to get a drug test for his client. I've never been tested though. So yes and no but be prepared.

 

Any new updates on this now? Also if you have a DUI will they except you for employment?
