While an evolving A&D landscape presents several new challenges, KPMG offers broad capabilities to help clients manage regulations and meet their targets, including:

Cost and Competitiveness

  • Performance and technology services
  • Supply chain and distribution solutions
  • Procurement transformation
  • Improving operational efficiencies
  • Finance transformation
  • Internal improvement and sourcing advisory
  • R&D management strategies

The Growth Agenda

  • High growth market strategies
  • Market entry and expansion
  • M&A and transaction services
  • Corporate finance and valuations
  • Private equity investment

Risk, Governance and Regulatory Matters

  • Enterprise risk management
  • IT advisory solutions
  • Governance, reporting and regulatory services
  • Debt advice and securitization
  • Global tax and transfer pricing services
  • Sustainability and the environment

Governments in developed economies curtailing defense spending to contain growing budget deficits and governments in high-growth economies making investments are leading to a markedly different operating environment for the A&D sector. KPMG’s A&D practice is well-equipped to help clients respond to new constraints in some markets and growth opportunities in others in order to grow capability, revenue and market presence.
