As an auditing company with over 130 years of experience, we support our clients with foresight, security and precision. Our focus is on quality using future-proof technology with our cloud-based audit platform KPMG Clara. Our quality assurance forms the basis and is a matter of course.

What sets us apart
Through our integrated audit of financial and sustainability information, we leverage synergies and provide our clients with holistic support for all regulatory changes that companies are confronted with now and in the future.
The audit of sustainability reporting is fully integrated into our audit of the financial statements. The common business understanding of our integrated audit team and the integrated audit methodology improve risk assessment during audit planning and lead to an efficient audit of both financial and sustainability information. The simultaneous utilisation of the results of certain audit procedures is efficient and avoids duplication of work. With our data-based, standardised audit approach, we map the integrated audit according to the maturity level of the available database.

Our promotion of young talent
A varied job, teamwork and social relevance - these are just three of the many reasons why being an auditor is an attractive profession. Increasing digitalisation means that more and more technological solutions are being used, and with regulatory requirements obliging companies to report on their environmental and social commitment, the audit of non-financial key figures is also moving further into the foreground. This makes the profession even more diverse and contemporary. In the Video six of our audit colleagues talk about what they value about their job and what it means to them.
KPMG promotes training to become an auditor through various measures and programmes and supports young talents in their career development.
Auditing with an understanding of systems and technology
As a business testing company, we bear a great deal of social responsibility. We stand for high-quality auditing services that create trust: for companies, capital markets and other stakeholders.
We do not view financial statement information and financial reporting in isolation in our integrated audit. We examine how figures are generated, which systems process them, which controls safeguard them and which risks arise from changes in organisation, regulation or technology. You can rely on us: Our experts bring together specialist audit experience, industry knowledge and technological expertise in a structured audit approach.
Our cloud-based audit platform KPMG Clara is a key component. It supports transparent, consistent and data-based audit execution and creates a modern basis for collaboration, documentation and analysis.
What integrated audit means in concrete terms
Quality that goes beyond the audit opinion
An integrated audit not only provides certainty for the financial statements and financial reporting. It can also indicate where processes should be made more efficient, controls more robust or data structures more transparent. In auditing practice, it often turns out that it is precisely these interfaces that are particularly valuable for management.
We support you in anticipating auditing requirements at an early stage, preparing auditing tasks efficiently and setting up your organisation to be audit-proof. In doing so, we ensure an objective, independent and precise audit that fulfils regulatory requirements and at the same time offers clear added value in terms of governance, control and transparency.

Frequently asked questions
An integrated financial statement audit combines the audit of financial reporting with the analysis of processes, IT systems, controls and data flows. Audit tasks are planned and interlinked in a risk-oriented manner.
It is particularly suitable for companies with complex financial reporting, international structures, digitalised system landscapes or increased governance and transparency requirements.
KPMG Clara supports digitally supported audit execution, structured collaboration and consistent documentation within the KPMG audit approach. This allows audit tasks to be managed transparently.
In addition to the audit judgement, management also gains a clearer view of risks, processes, controls and possible areas for improvement in financial reporting.
