KPMG International becomes first Big Four international entity to attain ISO 42001 certification for AI Management Systems

London, UK — KPMG International announced today that it has achieved the ISO 42001:2023 certification, the world’s first international standard for AI Management Systems. KPMG International is the first of the Big Four’s international entities to receive this accolade, underscoring the firm’s global leadership in responsible, ethical, and trustworthy AI. This achievement builds on the momentum of ISO 42001 certifications already earned by KPMG member firms in Australia, Spain, India, and the USA. 

ISO 42001, developed by the International Organization for Standardization, provides a comprehensive framework for the design, development, and use of AI systems. The standard requires a robust system of controls to ensure accountability and trust while mitigating risk in AI deployment. 

This recognition reflects years of work building safe, reliable and responsible AI systems. The certification is a major milestone that reinforces trust among clients and regulators. It gives KPMG member firms confidence to use AI tools like KPMG Workbench and aIQ Chat, knowing they meet internationally recognized standards. It enables KPMG International to help firms looking to certify their own local AI systems.
