      Regulatory requirements continue to increase. KPMG Regulatory Advisory helps you turn this necessity into an opportunity to generate added value for your organisation and strengthen your business model in the long term.

      Which requirements affect your business model? Where is there a specific need for action? And which requirements can be utilised to improve governance?

      KPMG Regulatory Advisory provides clarity. We identify relevant developments, assess their implications and translate them into governance, processes, data, systems and controls. In doing so, we do not view regulation in isolation, but in the context of technological change, cyber risks, artificial intelligence, climate impacts, resource scarcity and geopolitical developments.

      We support companies from the initial assessment, through prioritisation and implementation, right through to day-to-day operations. Where internal expertise or capacity is lacking, we supplement teams in a targeted and long-term manner. In this way, compliance is not merely demonstrated after the event. It becomes transparent, manageable and a robust basis for decision-making. An obligation becomes a competitive advantage.

      This is how we support you


      • Providing clarity

        We monitor regulatory developments and assess which requirements are relevant to our business model, value creation and risk profile.

      • Setting priorities

        We assess impacts, interdependencies and the need for action. This ensures that resources are channelled towards the issues that really matter.

      • Shaping implementation

        We translate requirements into governance, responsibilities, processes, data, systems and controls.

      • Making compliance manageable

        We ensure transparency regarding status, risks and decisions. This means that compliance is not only documentable, but can also be actively managed.

      • Securing capacity

        We fill in the gaps in expertise and resources. From technical assessment and implementation right through to ongoing support in day-to-day operations.



      Our areas of expertise

      Integrated management of governance and sustainability

      We view governance and sustainability as a single management model. Working alongside you, we design robust governance systems, processes and controls: from the initial concept through governance transformation to demonstrating their effectiveness. This enables you to minimise liability risks for the Executive Board and Supervisory Board and to secure the trust of investors, regulators and the public. You also lay the foundations for tapping into new markets and business areas swiftly and in compliance with regulations.

      We integrate ESG requirements under the CSRD, ESRS, EU Taxonomy and ISSB with risk management, compliance management, internal control systems and internal audit. Sustainability delivers direct benefits to the business: energy and emissions data provide cost transparency, robust evidence strengthens your position with customers and financing partners, whilst grants and preferential energy pricing open up financial scope.​

      Ensuring compliance in digital processes and IT systems

      Digital processes are key to achieving compliance. We combine IT consultancy, IT assurance and IT auditing. This includes ERP landscapes, IT general controls (ITGCs), information security – including with regard to NIS-2 – as well as audit opinions on systems and controls.

      The result: more efficient controls and less rework.

      Preventing and investigating white-collar crime and compliance breaches

      We support you in preventing, detecting and investigating white-collar crime and compliance breaches. To this end, we advise you on regulatory requirements relating to data protection, money laundering and sanctions.


      Greater efficiency and transparency through artificial intelligence

      We use AI for recurring processes that need to be designed in a way that is traceable and scalable. The technical assessment and responsibility for the results always remain with our experts.

      Regulatory frameworks are changing faster than traditional governance structures can keep up with. We support companies across all sectors – from capital market-oriented groups to SMEs – not only in meeting regulatory requirements, but also in using them to gain control, resilience and a robust basis for decision-making. Our portfolio encompasses advisory, assurance and certification services, as well as managed services – both nationally and internationally through the global KPMG network. Which of these services we can provide for your company depends on the specific nature of the engagement and the applicable professional independence requirements.

      We take a results-oriented approach to governance: less manual work, continuous rather than ad hoc transparency, and a forward-looking view of risks. Where it is appropriate and permissible, we rely on AI-supported and partially automated processes – whilst the professional assessment and the responsibility for the results always remain with our experts. In this way, governance can evolve from a cost factor into a management tool.
