Fact About KPMG Nigeria
- A Legacy of Leadership: The foundations of KPMG trace back to 1816 when Robert Fletcher began his career as an accountant. The firm’s storied history is marked by the leadership of pioneers like William Barclay Peat, who joined at just 17 and led the firm to be renamed William Barclay Peat & Co.
- The Power of Mergers: KPMG’s history is a testament to the transformative power of mergers. Key mergers include the union of William Barclay Peat & Co. with Marwick Mitchell & Co. in 1925, and the mega-merger of KMG with Peat Marwick in 1987, forming the global powerhouse we know today as KPMG.
- Global Reach: In 1979, Klynveld Kraayenhof & Co. (Netherlands), McLintock Main LaFrentz (UK/US), and Deutsche Treuhand-Gesellschaft (Germany) merged to form KMG, demonstrating a vision of creating a strong European-based international firm that paved the way for KPMG’s global presence.
- Reinhard Goerdeler’s Legacy: The first CEO of KMG, Reinhard Goerdeler, was the son of Carl Goerdeler, a leading anti-Nazi activist who would have become Chancellor of Germany if Operation Valkyrie had succeeded. This connection adds a profound historical depth to KPMG’s leadership legacy.
- Unique Dutch Presence: In the Netherlands, due to the merger between PMI and KMG in 1988, PMI tax advisors joined Meijburg & Co. Today, the Netherlands is uniquely the only country with two members of KPMG International: KPMG Audit (accountants) and Meijburg & Co (tax consultants).
- Ambitious Merger Attempt: In October 1997, KPMG and Ernst & Young announced plans to merge, which would have created a colossal entity in the accounting world. Though the merger was later abandoned, the ambitious attempt highlights the scale and influence of KPMG.
- Enduring Evolution: Over the years, KPMG has undergone several name changes, reflecting its growth and evolution. From Peat Marwick Mitchell & Co. to KPMG Peat Marwick in 1991, and finally simplifying to KPMG in 1999, the brand has consistently adapted to stay relevant and powerful.
- A Global Vision: KPMG’s story is a journey from local beginnings to a global vision, consistently expanding through strategic mergers and alliances to become one of the leading accounting and professional services firms in the world.
