Message from our Managing Partner

Together. For better: Driving quality across all we do.

Quality is as much an outcome as it is the standard for which we hold ourselves to account. It is the gateway to building trusted relationships with our clients and those who rely on us. For more than 55 years, quality has helped us become a trusted advisor to so many businesses and stakeholders in the Cayman Islands and across the world. KPMG LLP in the Cayman Islands’ success will always be linked to the quality of the services we provide – even more so as the world evolves at a pace unrivalled in recent memory. The pace and scale of dramatic change happening around us only strengthens our resolve to ensure the quality, consistency and adaptability of our services are fit for this new future. 

That’s why 2023 was a pivotal year for us as we:

  • Transformed the audit experience for both our clients and our teams by investing in KPMG Clara - our cloud-based audit methodology and workflow platform. KPMG Clara delivers smarter, data-driven outcomes and deeper insights by blending the best of technology with the best of our people. This market-leading technology helps KPMG’s 90,000+ audit professionals in 144 countries, deliver consistent high-quality audits in a seamless way.  
  • Applied a consistent risk-based approach to our System of Quality Management to drive audit quality and meet the requirements of the International Standard on Quality Management (ISQM) 1. We have placed the highest priority on our System of Quality Management and believe consistent execution and adherence to these requirements and the intent of the professional standards behind them will help drive higher quality across our organization for clients big and small, no matter where they do business.
  • Continue to upskill our people and build teams that are fluent in ESG to help our clients meet the goals necessary to build a more sustainable future. With stakeholders demanding more accountability on environmental, social and governance (ESG) issues, and regulators begin to require disclosures across new metrics, we’re investing to make ESG the watermark running through our firm.  

Providing high-quality services takes hard work, dedication, and focus, as well as a continued investment in the people that make it happen. We’re making sure our incredible people - who respect our code of conduct, live our values and care about doing the right thing - are with us every step of the way. All while ensuring, we help them expand their careers, supporting their well-being, and building a safe and inclusive workplace. Their individual success is key to our collective growth.

Audit has been a fundamental part of our business for generations, and as the world changes dramatically, our fidelity to ensuring the successful working of the capital markets through the robust quality of our audits has stayed constant. It’s why we’ve been successful for over 55 years and will never waiver from our commitment to deliver high-quality audit and assurance services.

Thank you for trusting KPMG in the Cayman Islands.

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