Clients

Our experience and versatility are reflected in our broad client base. This includes leading organisations in the fields of manufacturing, mining, finance, public corporations, commerce and industry.

Standards

Each member firm of KPMG around the world complies with rigorous standards to ensure the highest quality of professional services to clients. We look not only for technical excellence but also for a strong commitment to objectivity, integrity and independence in our work.

Resources

KPMG has a vast international bank of knowledge and experience to offer to clients and to draw on when needed. No matter how complex the challenge, somewhere in our network we've probably dealt with it before.

People

We recruit the best people, train them throughout their careers and reward them appropriately. We are therefore able to compile the best multidisciplinary team for each assignment we take on. Our people are business-like and enthusiastic.

What constitutes excellent professional service in changing times? For most clients, a central criterion is immediate access to expertise. The right advice at the right time can make a world of difference. KPMG's service challenge is to deliver expertise on demand.

We undertake to deliver what we promise, on time, to the highest professional standards. We put a lot of effort into making sure that our clients get the quality service they are entitled to.

We aim for excellence in service delivery (responsiveness, innovation and meeting deadlines) and technical performance (reliability, accuracy and practical advice).

Audit approach

Our approach to auditing is based on two things: an understanding of our client's business and the related business and audit risks.

Empowerment

We have succeeded if we pass on to our clients the ability to do more for themselves - to be more competitive, to be able to minimise risks and take advantage of opportunities.

Change

In today's world of increased competition, globalisation and technological innovation, we can no longer react to events as they occur. Instead, business leaders must anticipate change, confront it, prepare for it and if necessary, even make it happen.

Opportunity lies within any change and we help clients take advantage of the fact. We also offer one of the few constants in the world of change: personal trust, developed in solid professional relationships.

Making your money count

We deliver our services to the highest professional standards in a cost effective manner, add value and provide real business solutions based on impartial observations and solid experience. We place our clients in a position of greater strength.
