Overview
An independent audit is the foundation for decision-making in the capital markets. Stakeholders require responsible opinion from independent auditors and the fundamental goal of our 3,400 auditors in the UK is to provide this assurance.
We are committed to providing a constructive and challenging audit. Marketplace feedback, from both large quoted and growing businesses, confirms that our audit opinion is robust and commercially focused. I believe that KPMG’s Values and the behaviour they inspire help our people make this exceptional contribution to our clients and our communities. As auditors these firm-wide Values manifest themselves in particular ways in our audit. We get the basics right and we add value beyond the financial statement through the insights we bring, based on our knowledge of a client’s business drivers and of individual sectors.
