This report illustrates how KPMG in the Cayman Islands upholds our professional responsibilities, outlines our firm’s structure, governance and approach to quality control, and articulates the innovative ways we maintain robust quality audit.

KPMG in the Cayman Islands has developed its strategy, fully aligned with KPMG’s Collective Strategy of Trust and Growth, with an aim to be the most trusted and trustworthy professional services firm. Delivering quality audits is a strategic imperative that requires building and maintaining a quality centric culture where our leaders are held accountable and our people are trained and developed and ultimately rewarded for meeting this goal. We measure our people’s engagement in this and other areas through our Global People Survey.

Our culture is underpinned by Our Values which guide our actions and behaviors. The KPMG’s Global Code of Conduct defines who we are and how we will act and everyone at KPMG is expected to follow it.

In performing high quality audits, we draw upon a wide range of specialist skills both within our firm and throughout the KPMG network. We are investing and equipping our people with leading technology through our “smart” audit platform, KPMG Clara and related technologies. The platform brings our powerful data and analytical capabilities into one interface with the ability to integrate new technologies such as artificial intelligence and machine learning.

This year, our “normal” was and continues to be disrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Our people and our systems met this challenge, readjusted our working environments and how we work to meet our strategic imperative of audit quality and delivering excellence in client service. Together, we have demonstrated our ambition while growing our market share – all of which is underpinned by our Global Collective Strategy. Our behaviors and how we work together are shaped by our purpose and framed by our refreshed values of Integrity, Excellence, Courage and Together For Better.

2020 may have thrown many a challenge our way, but our stance as a collective has propelled us to bigger and better things, ensuring that while we will not longer take our normality for granted, we are ready and more prepared than ever before for the next chapter.

Together, we have demonstrated our ambition while growing our market share – all of which is underpinned by our Global Collective Strategy
