      We tailor our financial statement audits to align with your level of digitalization. The strategic use of modern technology, data-driven analytics, and AI-powered methods is primarily aimed at enhancing audit quality and supports a risk-based audit approach that focuses on the risks truly relevant to your business model. This provides early clarity and insights that help you manage your business and make informed decisions. Excellence is achieved through a collaborative process characterized by efficient workflows, clear priorities, and audit quality that you can truly feel.

      Our technology to empower you

      We help you leverage new technologies in a way that adds value while ensuring responsible use. This is built on a foundation of reliable data management, clearly defined governance structures, and transparent decision-making. We combine our audit experience with the responsible use of AI so that you can modernize processes, reduce complexity, and unlock potential. In this way, technology becomes an enabler for your business and a building block of an audit that builds trust and supports you on your journey ahead.



      Clara

      One platform.Full transparency.Clear control.

      KPMG Clara centralizes all audit-related information on a single platform. Audit status, open issues, identified risks, and critical matters are documented in a structured, up-to-date, and audit-proof manner at all times and can be fully traced

      For you, this means:

      You always know what is being audited, why it is being audited, and where the risks lie. The platform provides clarity, strengthens governance structures, and significantly reduces the coordination effort, particularly in complex corporate structures.



      Data-Driven Audit Decisions Using AI

      The use of AI makes financial audits more reliable and of higher quality, as audits are no longer primarily based on sampling. Instead, entire data sets can be analyzed. The focus is specifically on high-risk transactions. This reduces the need for sampling while simultaneously providing more insights into areas for improvement.

      This reimagines the financial statement audit: data-driven analyses examine not only individual companies but the data landscape of the entire group. Risks and anomalies can be consistently identified and tracked across the entire group.

      With AI, the analysis of qualitative audit evidence and written components of the financial statements also reaches a new dimension. Information is not merely processed but intelligently analyzed and transformed into valuable audit-relevant insights. While the analysis is supported by AI, professional judgment, audit opinion, and responsibility remain with humans.

      AI as a value driver in the financial sector
