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.
Our KPMG audit DNA: Focus on quality with people at the centre
We know what is important now, what will be important in the future – and how companies can leverage change to their advantage. As an auditing firm with over 130 years of experience, we advise our clients with foresight, confidence and precision. Our focus is on quality using state-of-the-art technology.
Our globally networked experts in auditing and audit-related consulting in the areas of accounting & process advisory, risk & compliance services and forensic not only bring a wide range of specialist knowledge to the table, but also represent the personal touch of KPMG's audit division. Because despite all our technical solution expertise, we put people first.

Get to know us
Comprehensive solutions for companies
Our services are strongly influenced by regulatory changes and future issues, to which we respond flexibly and quickly. As auditors and audit-related consultants, we recognise changes, anticipate our clients' challenges and develop appropriate solutions. Security and reliability are just as important in the area of sustainability as they are in financial reporting.
We have integrated the audit of sustainability information into the traditional financial statement audit and support you with a comprehensive portfolio of services as a holistic and globally networked partner for ESG-related issues.

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
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.
