Audit Quality

We are one of the most trusted auditing firms in the country. Hence, a high-quality independent audit is the cornerstone of this trust. We are committed to be a leader across all services of audit, especially to be a significant change-maker around the discussion in the market about audit quality and how this is continuously evolving over time. To ensure that our work consistently meets the needs of the market, we use a broad range of mechanisms to monitor our performance, respond to feedback and seek opportunities to improve.​

We deliver value by providing insights to help our clients better understand our independent audit assessment through a working relationship between us and our clients. Our approach involves communicating the audit results to help organizations identify processes and systems to enhance, accelerate, automate, augment and arrive at business decisions that drive growth and profitability.

We believe that a technology-driven audit is the future. By embedding technology in every phase of the audit, we look deeper and see farther into clients’ data to realize the full value of the information. We understand that it is important to leverage relevant technology that enables us to focus audit efforts where it is really needed, thereby enhancing efficiency to save time and effort.

At KPMG, we have quickly adapted to the new normal of hybrid work, while remaining laser-focused on audit quality. We continue to stay agile and have adopted new ways of working to ensure we are still able to deliver the best work for our clients, which include new approaches like video-based walkthroughs, technology to explore asset valuations, centralization of services, and project management features to ensure execution.​

In the area of audit quality leadership, a multi-year Audit Quality Transformation (AQT) is in progress, accompanied by the full deployment KPMG Clara Workflow (KCW), Second Line of Defense (2LOD) and System of Quality Management (SoQM).

Our quality services have transformed our clients' businesses, enabling them to create value-adding impacts not only for sustainability but also in support of overarching national programs, targets, and global developmental goals. ​
