Audit Services for Private Equity

Two decades ago, KPMG was one of the first accounting firms to establish a dedicated and multidisciplinary Private Equity Group. Our professionals are experts with an excellent multinational network and the ability to utilise their global knowledge from all our service lines. This makes them the ideal auditor to support you with any questions and in any market environment and to evaluate your market and growth strategies. In doing so, we help you to provide important insights for your company and your owners and to create real value and trust.

We achieve this with our private equity experience, our smart digital approach, an integrated sustainability report review and, of course, proven industry experience. These are the key building blocks of our audit DNA.

Private equity portfolio companies form an important group within the German economy. Among other things, they stand for sustainable orientation, performance, innovation and crisis stability. We are one of the leading audit firms for auditing globally active companies with a private equity background.

Our team is very familiar with the challenges faced by private equity investors' portfolio companies, such as private equity accounting issues and exit and capital market readiness. And we understand that your challenges and opportunities are sometimes different from those of listed or owner-managed companies.

A smooth audit process is essential for your preparation phase. This can only be achieved through a good understanding of your business and its specifics. With our teams and experience, we are well placed to start the audit immediately and ensure a smooth transition. Smooth initial audits, without major burdens on your specialised departments, are our particular reference.

Our audit gives you even deeper insights into your processes and transactions, for a better understanding and optimisation. We combine a digital audit with a customised audit approach. We will intelligently combine our ability to analyse your data for better risk assessment and full audit coverage and deploy an experienced audit team. In this way, we provide you with new insights into your processes and figures as well as a high level of audit assurance.

KPMG has carried out a large number of ESG projects in recent years. We have utilised this experience and developed an integrated audit approach that encompasses financial and non-financial reporting. KPMG's private equity audit services provide a high level of assurance and quality for your private equity portfolio company.
