      The economy is changing faster than ever before. Digitalisation is transforming industries, disruptive business and working models are emerging, and cut-throat competition on global markets is intensifying. At the same time, far-reaching upheavals caused by geopolitical conflicts are shaping the operating environment for companies. And the mega-topic of ESG – environmental, social and governance – is becoming increasingly relevant in society and the economy.

      Some or all of the services described here may not be available to KPMG audit clients and their affiliates.

      Trust through Audit

      Business auditing today is more data-driven, more international and more technological than it was just a few years ago. That is why we work with digital audit approaches and our global, cloud-based audit platform KPMG Clara. It supports consistent audit implementation, improves collaboration and enables structured analysis of relevant data.

      For you, this means that we do not audit in isolation on the basis of individual figures, but consider processes, management systems, controls and IT-supported procedures in context. This results in a well-founded audit judgement that meets the requirements of modern corporate governance.

      Our audit topics

      • Audit of financial statements and consolidated financial statements

        We audit annual and consolidated financial statements in accordance with national and international accounting standards. We emphasise a structured audit process, clear communication and early coordination of key issues. This provides management and supervisory bodies with reliable assessments of accounting, valuation and reporting.

      • Audit Corporate and capital market-oriented companies

        Audit Corporate focuses on complex corporate structures, international reporting obligations and demanding stakeholder expectations. We support large medium-sized companies, groups and capital market-oriented clients with teams that contribute industry-specific experience and regulatory expertise in auditing. This means that audit-related issues can be addressed at an early stage.

      • Auditing management systems and internal controls

        Resilient management systems and an effective internal control system strengthen the quality of financial reporting. We audit processes, controls and interfaces that are material to the audit. In doing so, we identify where risks exist and which improvements can increase transparency in the company.

      • Technology-driven auditing

        Data analyses, automation and digital platforms are changing auditing. KPMG Audit uses technology to carry out audits in a more targeted and transparent manner. Our experts combine technical understanding with audit experience to turn data into actionable insights.

      • Sustainability-related audit services

        The requirements for non-financial information are increasing. Companies must consistently collect, document and report sustainability data. We support you in the auditing and audit-related assessment of sustainability-related information, processes and management systems so that management and stakeholders can access reliable data.

      We support you along your audit requirements

      We support you with testing and auditing services based on quality, experience and technology. We actively contribute our understanding of accounting, governance, risk management, management systems, data and regulatory developments. Our aim is to provide an audit that creates certainty and at the same time strengthens the dialogue with management and supervisory bodies.

      Whether statutory audit, group audit, KPMG audit for international structures, auditing of management systems or audit-related services: We work with foresight, reliability and precision. You can rely on that.

      Frequently asked questions

      Audit and assurance comprise the independent review of financial information, processes, controls, management systems and reports. The aim is to create confidence in the quality and reliability of corporate reporting.

      Audit services are aimed at companies, management, supervisory boards and other stakeholders who require reliable audit judgements and well-founded assessments of corporate reporting.

      The auditing of management systems helps companies to review processes, controls and responsibilities in a structured manner. As a result, risks can be made more transparent and audit-relevant processes can be improved in a targeted manner.

      Digital audit platforms such as KPMG Clara enable structured audit workflows, data-based analyses and transparent collaboration between the audit team and the client.
