    KPMG appoints Scott Flynn as Global Head of Audit

    Scott succeeds Larry Bradley, current Global Head of Audit, who will retire 31 March 2025.

    Scott Flynn, currently the Head of the US firm’s audit practice, will become KPMG’s Global Head of Audit on 1 April 2025. Scott brings more than 30 years of experience working with some of the world’s leading multinational companies and has been Head of Audit, KPMG in the US since 2020. He brings strong international experience from three years working in Asia and leading the US GAAP and Risk Management teams within the Chinese firm’s Shanghai office. Under Scott’s tenure, the US Audit practice has transformed its audit approach, its systems of quality and control and its usage of people and technology through a multi-year investment program, surpassing US$4 billion in revenue for the first time.

    At a time when businesses throughout the world face increasingly complex challenges, financial and non-financial reporting is even more critical to enhancing trust in the capital markets. I look forward to working together across the globe to build upon our efforts to transform the audit, helping KPMG to build a global organization of the future, making the difference for our clients, our people and society.

    Larry Bradley, the current Global Head of Audit, will retire on 31 March 2025 after a 42-year career with KPMG. Larry has led KPMG’s global Audit practice since 2020 through a period of significant change, including overseeing significant investment in audit quality, the global rollout of KPMG’s audit workflow platform Clara including the deployment of Artificial Intelligence, and the implementation of SoQM, a globally consistent system of quality of management. He has been a member of various national, regional and global boards of directors for KPMG, including KPMG in the US, KPMG Americas, Park Indemnity, as well as several Boards of Directors for national and global non-profit organizations. 
    Scott’s experience in driving audit quality, setting standards and driving technology-enabled transformation will be critical for the future of our global audit practice.

    Audit is the foundation of our organization, and I’m confident that under Scott’s leadership, our global audit practice will continue to drive quality and trust in the capital markets and deliver long-term sustainable growth. I would like to thank Larry for his tremendous leadership and the huge contribution he has made to KPMG’s success. I wish him all the best for his retirement.
