Today's increasingly demanding and complex regulatory environment makes many organizations invest significant resources on compliance activities. KPMG can help organizations transform regulatory compliance from just another cost and management distraction into a key value driver.
To this effect, KPMG firms can provide the following services:
Corporate Regulatory Compliance
KPMG's Corporate Regulatory Compliance advisers can evaluate current compliance policies and procedures and provide advice on the design of the compliance function and the role of the board, audit committee, and management. When appropriate, they can assist in the design and implementation of specific reporting systems, process requirements, and compliance programs, including training and e-learning approaches.
Regulatory Assistance Services incl. SOX
KPMG can help organizations assess financial controls, identify deficiencies, and implement enhanced controls and practices. Specifically, our audit professionals can help ensure that the organization is compliant with the latest requirements regarding Section 404 and other relevant regulatory mandates. Services provided include, but are not limited to:
- Performance of attestation examinations with respect to management’s assertions on the effectiveness of internal controls over financial reporting
- Internal control reports required for inclusion in the annual report.
Regulatory and Management Investigations
KPMG's services of Regulatory and Management Investigations aim at helping clients identify, verify, and even prevent breaches of regulatory requirements. We can investigate whether, how, and why an organization may have failed to meet regulatory requirements. We can also provide recommendations for improvements in structures, processes, and controls and facilitate a positive relationship with regulators.
Privacy
KPMG's privacy advisers can help clients identify and address potential privacy-related risks, establish an appropriate privacy policy, and capitalize on the marketplace value of their company’s privacy practices. Services include environmental and regulatory analyses, policy and procedure design, compliance implementation assistance, and privacy reviews.
Anti-Money Laundering
Anti-Money Laundering services aim at helping clients comply with national and international anti-money laundering regulations and codes. KPMG's qualified professionals can assist clients in the design, implementation, and review of anti-money laundering systems, procedures, controls, and reporting. The firm's multidisciplinary team of professionals includes former prosecutors, professionals from investigative and law enforcement agencies, ethics and integrity-management professionals, and economists.
New Business/New products
KPMG can help clients (1) structure new business/new products so that regulatory approval can be obtained, (2) present to the regulators requests for approval of new businesses/new products, and (3) create new policies, procedures and processes, including internal controls, that will be needed prior to commencement of new businesses/new products.
