|
| |
|
| | KPMG LLP, the UK member firm of KPMG International, reported a 21% increase in profit for 2005, together with a 20% rise in turnover.
The firm said operating profits were £305m for the financial year ended 30 September | |
|
| | 2005, compared to £253m in 2004.
Turnover was £1,281m, against £1,071m in 2004.
Mike Rake, chairman of KPMG International and UK senior partner, said: "In many ways, 2005 was the most successful year in the | |
|
| | history of the UK firm. Our growth of 20% makes KPMG the fastest growing 'Big Four' firm in the UK in 2005 - and vindicates our strategy to invest at a time when the economic environment was less promising. We were confident that - | |
|
| | with the right people, the right values and culture, and the right approach to our diverse range of clients - we would see our turnover, profitability and market share increase."
All but two of KPMG's core service lines saw | |
|
| | growth in 2005. The biggest increase was in Risk Advisory Services where turnover grew by 48%, mainly due to "Sarbanes Oxley" related work.
