KPMG Europe LLP
In October 2007 we took an important step in our history in merging together KPMG in Germany, KPMG in the UK and KPMG in Switzerland to form KPMG Europe LLP.
As a next step the partners of
- KPMG in Norway
- KPMG in Saudi Arabia
have overwhelmingly voted to join KPMG Europe LLP alongside the ELLP firms in the UK, in Germany, Switzerland, Spain* and Belgium*, KPMG in the CIS** (The CIS consists of Russia, Ukraine, Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan, Armenia and Georgia), KPMG Turkey, KPMG in the Netherlands and KPMG in Luxembourg. The combined firm has 30,000 partners and staffs working from more than 120 offices across the ELLP firms. KPMG Europe LLP is a UK registered LLP.
KPMG Europe LLP's joint chairmen are John Griffith-Jones, currently Chairman of KPMG LLP (UK), and Prof. Rolf Nonnenmacher, currently Chairman of the Managing Board, KPMG AG Wirtschaftsprüfungsgesellschaft.
