KPMG’s relationship with the International Corporate Governance Network (ICGN) is a long standing global partnership focused on engaging the investor community on issues that shape corporate governance, audit quality, and trust in capital markets. Since 2013, KPMG has sponsored ICGN to deepen dialogue with institutional investors and governance leaders—key influencers of audit committees, boards, and regulatory agendas. Through this partnership, KPMG collaborates with ICGN to address critical topics including audit regulation, ESG reporting, and the growing role of artificial intelligence in audit and assurance.


      ICGN Summer Conference 2026 – Amsterdam

      Date: Thursday, June 25, 2026
      Location: Beurs Van Berlage, Damrak 243, 1012 ZJ Amsterdam

      Welcome to our booth!

      For any questions, please get in touch.

      Be sure to join our hosted panel session by KPMG on June 25 between 11:55-12:35 to hear more from expert briefing on the topic of “The state of play in sustainability reporting and assurance”.

      Sustainability reporting is moving rapidly from “voluntary narrative” to regulated, decision-useful disclosure—while assurance is becoming the key credibility mechanism. This expert briefing will provide a clear snapshot of where global requirements are landing (EU/ESRS, ISSB/IFRS S1 & S2, and other major regimes), what’s changing in 2025–2026, and how assurance expectations, standards and market practice are evolving. It will focus on practical implications for investors: comparability, reliability, governance signals, and how to use reported information in stewardship and investment decisions.
