KPMG in the UK is a leading provider of professional services including audit, tax, financial and risk advisory. KPMG in the UK has nearly 11,000 partners and staff working in 22 offices and is part of a strong global network of member firms. In 2007, we merged with our German firm to form KPMG Europe LLP, with the Swiss and Spanish firms to join on 1 October 2008. The combined four firms will have more than 23,000 partners and staff working from 75 offices, with revenues in excess of Euro 4.1bn in 2007. We are the first in professional services to create a cross-border firm on this scale and we are unashamedly proud of our achievement.
Our vision is simply stated to turn knowledge into value for the benefit of our clients, our people and our capital markets. Each of these areas we take very seriously. The quality of our advice and independence with which we offer it is greatly valued in the investor and business community.
We continue to be recognised for our commitment to making KPMG the best choice for our clients and for our people. Once again KPMG in the UK achieved first place in The Sunday Times Best Big Company to Work For Awards 2008, making it the fourth consecutive year of being voted in the top three. 2008 is also the fourth consecutive year for KPMG in the UK winning the ‘Auditor of the Year’ award in the ‘Big Four’ category at the Real FD/CBI Finance Directors’ Excellence Awards. In addition, we have once again been awarded five coveted ‘Big Ticks’ for the positive impact our CSR programmes have in the community and the environment by Business in the Community (BITC). We also won the Accountancy Age Global Firm of the Year 2007. These are tremendous accolades and distinguish us as a leader in our profession and in the wider corporate community.
