KPMG firms’ financial performance validates an unwavering commitment to deliver services of the highest quality, through a multidisciplinary approach that helps us to provide solutions to clients’ most difficult challenges and the stability and resilience to invest, even in hard times,” KPMG Global Chairman and CEO Bill Thomas said in a written statement. “But the true measure of our success is what we’ve been able to accomplish for those that rely on us most. Clients and wider society continue to face complex problems that require KPMG professionals to work across borders and disciplines and to collaborate more closely than ever. Few organizations have the expertise and global reach that KPMG has, and we’re at our best when we work together to inspire confidence and empower change.”
