We are KPMG in the UK. We are the UK member of the international network of KPMG firms described in our Transparency Report. 

We provide services to our clients primarily through two corporate vehicles, which are KPMG LLP, a limited liability partnership incorporated in England with registration number OC301540, and KPMG Audit Plc, a company incorporated in England with registration number 3110745.

We are required to hold professional liability insurance. Our professional indemnity insurers are Queen Street Mutual Company PCC Limited and others, and can be contacted via Aon Risk Solutions, 8 Devonshire Square, London EC2M 4PL. The territorial coverage is worldwide.

Involvement of overseas resources

We are continually looking for efficiencies in our delivery. Many of our routine administrative and secretarial tasks are performed by dedicated KPMG specialists operating outside of the UK. These KPMG specialists provide a cost effective support service that helps us to respond to our clients’ requirements efficiently.

Feedback is welcomed

We aspire to embed in our culture the attributes that we feel distinguish our brand and contribute to the difference that our clients experience when we are engaged to provide services. We invite clients to provide feedback on our performance so that we can measure to what extent we meet our goals.

Diversity and disability

We aspire also to be diversity and disability friendly, which means that we strive to avoid all forms of discrimination or bias and to accommodate any of our clients or our people or suppliers who have difficulties accessing our buildings, our content or our services. We take pre-emptive measures and encourage anyone experiencing access difficulties to contact us for support. 

Modern Slavery Act 2015

The Modern Slavery Act 2015 introduced changes in UK law focused on increasing transparency in supply chains. Organisations like KPMG LLP are required to produce a "slavery and human trafficking statement" each financial year. This is a statement of the steps taken by the organisation to seek to ensure that modern slavery is not taking place in the organisation's business or supply chains.

Tax Strategy

KPMG in the UK is committed to full compliance with all statutory obligations and full disclosure to tax authorities. The firm’s tax affairs are managed in a way which takes into account the firm’s wider corporate reputation in line with KPMG in the UK’s overall high standards of governance. In accordance with paragraphs 19 and 25 of Schedule 19 to the Finance Act 2016, our Tax Strategy is published here.

Political Engagement

As a leading professional services firm, policy makers and politicians are important stakeholders for us and we believe the knowledge and insights we obtain through our work with thousands of clients can provide valuable insight for policymaking. Whilst we are willing and active participants in public policy debates through a number of engagement activities and relationships in the UK and beyond, we seek to maintain a position of political neutrality.

As a regulated business, changes to legislation and regulation can have a significant effect on our business. Understanding our regulatory environment, as well as being able to input on discussions on any changes to that regulatory environment are important for us. Read more about our approach here:
