Managed Services

Our organization thrives on a global scale, with teams based in Belgium, the Netherlands, and India. This diverse presence not only taps into varied expertise but also cultivates a collaborative environment. By uniting the strengths of our international teams, we drive innovation and deliver exceptional results across borders.

Multinational companies are increasingly looking externally to outsource financial and tax processes such as Record-to-Report, Purchase-to-Pay and Order-to-Cash, among others.

KPMG's Managed Services offers you a solution that goes beyond traditional outsourcing – we manage end-to-end finance, accounting, reporting and tax processes.

As opposed to traditional outsourcing models – where we request relevant data and information from you, and process it, such as in a report, financial statements and tax returns – with our Managed Services model, we will take over the complete finance, accounting and/or tax process for you.

We have a dedicated multidisciplinary team that can cover multiple jurisdictions and handle high volume transactions.

Know Your Customer and CDD as a Service concentrates on the end-to-end Know Your Customer and Customer Due Diligence processes to complete ongoing rolling reviews and clear backlogs of complex files in line with regulatory requirements. This includes remediation in line with regulatory requirements.

KPMG’s Third-Party Risk Management (TPRM) as a Service focuses on continuous screening, identification and mitigation of third-party-related risks throughout the life cycle of your third-party relationships. We do this by incorporating leading technologies and data sources with best practice processes delivered by risk domain experts. Our TPRM and risk domain experts will complement or work alongside your central team.

Identity and Access Management In today’s increasingly technology-enabled world, managing digital identity forms the basis of a strong cybersecurity program. An organization’s understanding of users (both internal and external) and their digital representation is both a business enabler and a means to reducing risk. The primary function of an identity and access management (IAM) solution is to reduce the risk of inappropriate access by managing the lifecycle of digital identities and controlling access to critical information assets based on defined access policies and business need. 

KPMG’s Managed Service for IAM offers a single point of contact for all aspects of an IAM solution. It focuses on delivering high valued outcomes for IAM business operations and daily operational activities to keep the IAM solution operating as expected.

Managed Detection and Response as a Service is increasingly relevant in the current context of rising cybercrime rates and the massive financial and reputational risks involved. This tech-based solution offers continuous cyber detection and incident response services in order to help companies identify and mitigate cybersecurity risks.

Internal Control in a Box aims at the long-term management of internal control, SOX, J-SOX programmes as well as Internal Controls over Non-Financial reporting in the context of ESG. This includes keeping up to date with compliance mandates and managing the expectations of management, auditors, and regulators.
