• Subject Matter Expertise - Our industry and SMEs provide in-depth knowledge throughout the life of the engagement ensuring client needs and quality standards are met.
• Tools, Technology and Data - We have access to a wealth of KPMG proprietary tools and technology and also use technology provided by our alliance partners. This can include tailoring Cloud based solutions, remote access and data security needs to fit client demands.
• Data - We use 'agent scorecards' and defined performance metrics to monitor productivity, quality and utilisation through our workflow tools to drive a high performance culture. The wealth of data we gather enables us to complete ongoing analysis of themes and trends and provide insights to our clients

Initiatives have inspired our staff and gained us a top 2% Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP) A Rating, Platinum EcoVadis medal and Environmental Management (ISO 14001) and Energy Management (ISO 50001) certification.
