KPMG

Introduction:

KPMG International is #3 among the Big Five accounting firms after PricewaterhouseCoopers and Andersen Worldwide. The company's three main practice areas are tax, audit, and consulting. The accounting practice alone contribute about 60 percent of the revenues. KPMG has about 800 offices in more than 150 nations, from Albania to Zimbabwe, and is the only one of the Big Five larger in Europe than in North America. The range of services offered by the firm includes financial services; health care and public sector; information, communications, and entertainment; industrial markets; and consumer markets. KPMGs consulting practice has been growing at double-digit rates and now has over 15,000 employees worldwide. Traditionally a loose federation of national firms, KPMG is consolidating to offer more complete service. Also, the firm has separated its accounting and consulting businesses in the US and is selling 20% of the latter to networking equipment maker Cisco Systems prior to taking the consulting arm public.
