About KPMG

KPMG International is a global network of independent companies operating in 154 countries throughout the world. It is staffed by more than 197 000 professionals with multidisciplinary skills and offers audit and tax services and advisory.

The independent member firms of the KPMG network are affiliated with the KPMG International Cooperative ("KPMG International"), a Swiss entity.

Each member firm of the global KPMG network is referred to and identified as a legally independent and separate entity that is independently responsible for its management and the quality of its services. Member firms may use KPMG’s name, brand, and method, provided they agree to abide by KPMG’s global values.

KPMG International undertakes activities to benefit the global network of KPMG member firms, but does not offer professional services to clients. Such services are offered exclusively by KPMG member firms.

One of the most important goals of KPMG International is to assist member firms in providing audit, tax and advisory services on a consistently high level of quality. KPMG International e.g. sets and assists in the implementation and adherence to uniform rules and standards in the functioning of independent member firms.

KPMG International ensures that internal rules and standards are the same in all member firms and serve the common brand, thus attempting to contribute to the sustainability of the group as a whole.

All member firm are obliged to adhere to KPMG’s corporate policy and rules pertaining to quality standards.

This structure built upon member firms strengthens KPMG International's global strategy, ensures that its values are adhered to and that the standard of services throughout all global markets remains the same. This approach allows for the continuous sharing of knowledge and expertise among professionals throughout the global network.

Audit

„The aim of KPMG’s Audit department is to provide trustworthy and intelligible information about a company’s financial state. Our sector oriented teams utilise our detailed knowledge of industrial sectors and employ data analysis. Our experts specialise in individual entrepreneurial branches, among them the financial sector, real estate, energy, industrial enterprises, retail, the automotive industry as well as telecommunications. During audits they always take into account the individual sector’s specifics. KPMG also benefits from the work of actuaries, tax advisors, forensic auditors, valuation as well as IT experts.“

Tax Advisory services

„On both local and international levels, tax systems are undergoing dynamic and significant changes. The Czech Republic’s largest team of tax advisors keeps abreast of legislative developments, case law and changes in the tax administrator’s approach. We cooperate closely with the 30 lawyers of our law offices. Thanks to our broad knowledge of accounting and tax legislation and our membership in KPMG’s global network of firms we are able to offer comprehensive advisory services including a broad scale of specialised services.“

Legal Services

„The rapidly expanding law offices of KPMG Legal focus on corporate law, transactions, regulatory matters, employment law, and litigation. We offer services to both Czech and international clients and in many instances closely cooperate with experts from KPMG Česká republika. Apart from traditional legal assistance, we also offer more specialised services commonly not offered by law offices, as these require particular expertise, e.g. in the area of investment funds. We are also very active in the provision of advisory services to family businesses.“
