KPMG AI Assurance

KPMG AI Assurance is the artificial intelligence audit and governance practice of KPMG, one of the Big Four professional services firms. With a global network spanning over 140 countries and territories, KPMG brings unmatched scale and regulatory expertise to the AI governance and assurance market. The firm's AI assurance services help organizations evaluate, validate, and provide independent assurance over their AI systems, ensuring they meet regulatory requirements, ethical standards, and organizational risk tolerances across the full AI lifecycle. KPMG's AI assurance methodology encompasses multiple dimensions of AI risk including model accuracy and performance, fairness and bias assessment, transparency and explainability, data governance, privacy compliance, security, and operational resilience. The firm has developed proprietary frameworks and assessment tools that draw on its deep experience in financial audit, IT audit, and risk advisory, adapting these established disciplines to the unique challenges of AI systems. KPMG's Trusted AI framework provides a structured approach to evaluating AI systems across key dimensions of trustworthiness, offering organizations a comprehensive and defensible assessment methodology. The firm's AI assurance engagements range from pre-deployment model validation and algorithmic impact assessments to ongoing monitoring and periodic audit programs. KPMG works closely with boards, C-suite executives, and regulatory bodies, providing the level of independent assurance that stakeholders require for high-stakes AI decisions. The firm's regulatory connections and deep understanding of evolving AI legislation worldwide, including the EU AI Act, NIST AI RMF, and sector-specific requirements in financial services and healthcare, make it a natural partner for organizations navigating complex AI compliance landscapes. KPMG's AI assurance services target large enterprise and global organizations, typically those with significant AI portfolios and regulatory exposure. Engagements are consulting-led rather than software-driven, which means the depth of insight and customization is high but the cost is correspondingly premium. Organizations should expect long engagement cycles and significant investment, making KPMG's services best suited for enterprises where the regulatory, reputational, and financial stakes of AI deployment justify Big Four assurance. The firm's established trust, brand recognition, and global delivery capability make it one of the most credible options for independent AI assurance in the market.
