At KPMG Professional Services, we have recently constituted an Audit Quality Committee for our practice. The committee is made up of select individuals charged with assessing policies and practices aimed at enhancing audit quality. They are responsible for aligning our practice with international best practices from the global committee.

We are driving a consistent awareness across our firm of what quality is and how it can be measured, and investing in technology to help our firm deliver it. Through rigorous practice management controls and strong monitoring, we are ensuring that there is accountability across the firm for the quality of each and every KPMG audit.

For us, integrity and independence are non-negotiable: we take decisive action when individual behavior or events occur that do not align with our values or that run counter to achieving rigorous, independent audits. We can only be satisfied with the best – it’s our duty to the public and our stakeholders.

Our commitment to quality is underpinned by our values, which form the foundation of our culture and set the tone at the top. They also form the foundation of our approach to audit and shape how we work together, developing and supporting our people to be the best they can be.
