By working together across Audit, Advisory, Tax and Legal, we’re able to best serve our clients, meet quality standards and provide opportunities for our people to thrive.
Our clients, and the entities we audit, face increasingly complex and interwoven business problems. Our multidisciplinary model gives them access to a broad range of services, expertise, and ideas when they need them most as part of a fully integrated solution. The approach we take is core to our vision – to make the difference – and to build public trust.

We embed ESG considerations into everything we do—how we operate and how we advise our clients. Our market-leading ESG capabilities span climate risk and strategy, ESG due diligence, and regulatory and reporting support.
We take a responsible approach to how we deliver our advisory services. Alongside supporting clients on their sustainability journeys, we consider the sustainability and wider impact of the services we provide, ensuring we work with the right clients on the right engagements. Our economics specialists support organisations to measure, model and communicate environmental, economic and societal impacts, bringing together economists, academics and sector experts to deliver tailored insight.
This approach is reinforced through our ACCEPT framework, which guides client and engagement acceptance by embedding our values, risk appetite and ESG commitments into decision-making.
Our tax and legal experts work to ensure clients maximise the benefit of incentives designed to help their businesses thrive whilst at the same time helping them to reduce their exposure to risk and meet their compliance obligations. A particular hot topic is technology which can be a disrupter as well as an enabler. Tax authorities and regulators across the globe are accelerating their adoption of new technology and use of data, data analytics and data sharing. This has shifted their approach from retrospective form-filling to forward-looking models of compliance.
Responsible tax
Today’s tax function is dealing with a rapidly evolving domestic and global business landscape. It must keep up with growing digitisation, increased regulation, possible disruption to tax policy and an evolving geopolitical agenda. We use deep expertise, technology and tools to help our clients navigate the latest changes and stay compliant. In line with Our Values, our approach to providing tax services focuses on creating sustainable outcomes that contribute to the overall benefit of society:
We have a fundamental duty to serve the public interest and build trust
KPMG’s primary focus is to provide professional services to clients and audited entities. We carefully consider the clients, audited entities and engagements we choose to accept, within the context of our ‘ACCEPT’ framework (a set of client and engagement acceptance guidance embedding our values, risk appetite and ESG commitments). Each client and engagement is screened through a comprehensive Client Risk Assessment (“CRA”) and Engagement Risk Assessment (“ERA”) process.

Convening Our Clients to boost social mobility
We believe talent is everywhere, but unfortunately, opportunity is not. When young people have meaningful encounters with workplaces, the chance of them becoming NEET (Not in Employment, Education or Training) is much lower, they have a greater chance of progressing into fulfilling careers which they may have felt were beyond their reach.
That’s why we were proud to lead a pilot collaboration together with the Careers & Enterprise Company (CEC), Talent Foundry and five like-minded businesses to open doors for students from schools in underserved areas and give them meaningful exposure to the world of work.
