Constantly striving to be better lies at the heart of what makes KPMG different. It is this state of mind that sets apart the services we provide, the career experiences we offer and the work we do in the wider community.
In this report we explain what we achieved in 2007 and what we are doing to make KPMG even better – for our clients, our people and all of our stakeholders.
The launch of KPMG Europe LLP meant 2007 was a momentous year in our history. It also turned out to be a record one in terms of our performance. Now we’re looking ahead to 2008, which promises to be exciting in many different ways.
We constantly look for better ways to focus our multi-disciplinary services on the key issues for our clients. And we’re succeeding. The judges for the Accountancy Age ‘Global Firm of the Year’ award highlighted our “new services, innovation and great customer delivery”.
In 2007 we produced an exceptional operating performance, enabled our employees to achieve more for our clients and for themselves, and put in place strong foundations for KPMG Europe LLP. We achieved outstanding results this year and believe we can now do even better.
We help clients to compete and thrive. Whoever they are, wherever they are located, whenever they need our help. We are not content to be known as one of the ‘Big Four’ – we want to be the best in our profession, and recognised as such.
Great businesses are built on the talent, energy and ideas of great people. Our challenge is to provide an exciting environment where people can flourish and achieve more – for clients and for themselves.
More and more KPMG people are putting their skills, talents and energy to work for the wider world. From devising a groundbreaking energy audit for hospices to helping raise literacy and numeracy levels across Britain, we’re making a real difference.
Our finances are a tangible statement of our success, underpinned by the highest standards of corporate governance and risk management that lie at the heart of being a responsible, open and honest organisation.
