With deep industry experience, insight and technical support, KPMG firms are among the leaders in delivering a broad range of audit, tax and advisory services to meet the unique needs of healthcare providers and payers, especially larger organizations that are not-for profit or affiliated with government.

With our long term commitment to helping the business of healthcare, KPMG member firms serve healthcare organizations in the major cities and countries of Europe, North America and Asia Pacific.

Healthcare organizations confront emerging trends and risks that threaten their reputation and their financial security. They need to navigate complex, changing regulations and accounting rules with growing pressure on revenues, costs and access to capital. These challenging times require skilled advisers with a broad perspective who understand the business of healthcare.

Some of the key issues for healthcare organizations
  • Demographics: how to care for an aging population (in more developed countries) with growing demands for care.
  • Access: how to ensure that people can get care when and where they need it.
  • Funding: how to ensure sufficient funding for operations and capital improvements.
  • Cost of medical products: how to control costs of medicine and other healthcare products and still ensure that healthcare companies can afford to invest in research.
  • Quality: how to deliver better clinical outcomes more efficiently.
  • Professional staff: how to ensure adequate numbers of trained doctors and nurses with effective relationships to the facilities in which they practice.
  • Compliance: how to ensure compliance with government regulations and institutional policies and manage compliance issues such as fraud.
  • Accountability: how to measure and report performance to key constituencies, including not only financial results but also clinical performance and other relevant matters
  • Risk management: how to identify and manage current and emerging risks.
