At the core of KPMG's vibrant culture are a set of values that bring out the best in our people.

Our values create a sense of shared identity within the KPMG organization, which is a network of member firms in over 155 countries. They define what we stand for and how we do things.

Our values help us to work together in the most effective and fulfilling way. They bring us closer as a global organization.

We lead by example

At all levels we act in a way that exemplifies what we expect of each other and our member firms' clients.

We work together

We bring out the best in each other and create strong and successful working relationships.

We respect the individual

We respect people for who they are and for their knowledge, skills and experience as individuals and team members.

We seek the facts and provide insight

By challenging assumptions and pursuing facts, we strengthen our reputation as trusted and objective business advisers.

We are open and honest in our communication

We share information, insight and advice frequently and constructively and manage tough situations with courage and candor.

We are committed to our communities

We act as responsible corporate citizens by broadening our skills, experience and perspectives through work in our communities and protecting the environment.

Above all, we act with integrity

We are constantly striving to uphold the highest professional standards, provide sound advice and rigorously maintain our independence.

The KPMG culture is rooted in our values. Our integrity and policy of open and honest communication builds trust and collaboration, while our flexibility and diversity creates a culture in which people share knowledge freely, bringing out the very best in each other. Asked why they choose to work with KPMG member firms, many clients talk about our high level of professional ethics, our loyalty and our approachability.

Our culture extends beyond good business practice. We are also recognized for the efforts we make to alleviate poverty, support education and protect the environment around the world. KPMG member firms work diligently with other companies, governments and non-government organizations to address these problems and make a positive difference in peoples’ health, welfare and prosperity.

Our employees benefit from this forward-thinking approach. A critical element of KPMG’s global vision is to be recognized as ‘employers of choice’ — to recruit, retain and develop the very best people.

This allows our people to flourish both as professionals and as individuals — to enjoy a challenging career and get the most from their personal lives. They do so knowing that they are part of a responsible and positive culture that extends beyond them into the greater business, social and natural environment.
