We feel it is important to underline and reconfirm our values and those things we stand for: to lead by example, work together, respect the individual, seek the facts and provide insights as well as to be committed to our communities. The quality and integrity of our people and our work is paramount to everything we do at KPMG.
To ensure every partner and employee concentrates on the skills and behaviors needed to deliver an appropriate, robust and independent opinion, we have developed a global Audit Quality Framework. The seven drivers in this framework provide us with a common language to describe what we believe drives audit quality, and importantly, to highlight how every partner and staff member at KPMG contributes to the delivery of audit quality.

At KPMG Audit SRL, we maintain a system of quality control that is designed not only to reflect our drive and determination to deliver independent, unbiased advice and opinions, but also meet the requirements of Romanian law and professional standards. Audit Quality is integral to our business and is the responsibility of every partner and employee. To help ensure a common understanding of what drives audit quality within KPMG, we adhere to the Global Audit Quality Framework.

At KPMG, we inspire confidence and empower change in all we do for clients, our people and society at large. It is something our people focus on and unite around. And it is helping us to become the Clear Choice in professional services in the markets we serve and the communities we represent. Our people recognize the responsibility that comes with this sense of purpose. That is why everything we do is underpinned by a shared set of values that guide our every action, none more so than our focus on integrity. And it is a commitment which ensures, through the decisions we make and the work we do, that we leave our society, global network and one another stronger for the future. In a world of disruption, rapid change and technological evolution these principles have never been as important as they are today. They enable a culture that brings out the best in our people. One where innovation, deep expertise and a global mindset, combine with passion and working shoulder-to-shoulder to deliver real results that build trust. This is what it means to work with and for KPMG. This is what makes us different.
