Participation at trade associations and regulators
G4-16
Our professionals are members of a number of associations representing a range of industries and society, where they share knowledge in debates or serve on boards, executive committees and subject-matter working groups for the benefit of sustainable business development.
KPMG International and the G20
We played a decisive role throughout 2014 as a member of the G20 Transparency and Anti-corruption Working Group, which developed recommendations on improving transparency and corporate governance practices in emerging markets.
We have also been extensively engaged in the debate on tax morality, a concept that seeks to establish a balance between tax payments and gains and has held centre stage in discussions on government policy worldwide. Tax morality is one of the G20's focus areas in seeking greater cooperation between nations to ensure fairer taxation.
