      Foundations and non-profit organisations (NPOs) face a dynamically changing environment: different auditing standards apply to NPOs than to industrial companies.

      The constantly changing market conditions also pose a challenge for non-profit organisations with their capital investments. And in order to assume corporate and social responsibility, a large number of questions regarding the organisation & structure of foundations and non-profit organisations must be answered.

      Fulfilling corporate and social responsibility

      Foundations must fulfil numerous legal and tax requirements in order to be recognised by the foundation authorities as having legal capacity and by the tax authorities as being charitable.

      KPMG relies on a nationwide network of specialists to do justice to the complexity of (tax) law for tax-privileged organisations.

      Increasing demands for transparency, efficiency and legal certainty require non-profit organisations and charities to have sound knowledge, reliable structures and strategic foresight.

      Getting ideas off the ground

      Foundations must fulfil numerous legal and tax requirements in order to be recognised by the foundation authorities as having legal capacity and by the tax authorities as charitable. KPMG relies on a nationwide network of specialists to do justice to the complexity of (tax) law for tax-privileged organisations.

      In each region, the network is represented by a responsible partner who liaises with the tax authorities and foundation supervisory authorities and monitors changes in the administrative practice of the tax authorities in the respective federal state. The foundation teams are integrated into the international KPMG network for advising foundations and non-profit organisations.

      We also provide comprehensive support in the areas of accounting, strategy and sustainability, from auditing the annual financial statements to structured asset management and integrated sustainability reporting. Under the leadership of one of our partners, you receive all services bundled and tailored to your individual objectives.

      Financing

      Constantly changing market conditions also pose a challenge for non-profit organisations with their capital investments. The foundation's assets must be preserved and income must be generated for the pursuit of tax-privileged purposes - despite the persistently low interest rates.
