By setting high standards for ourselves, and our clients, our commitment to upholding KPMG’s values is clear: There is never a situation when compromising our standards is either expected or acceptable. To support our culture of integrity, KPMG has developed a robust ethics program that includes our Code of Conduct.

KPMG's Code of Conduct – Promise of Professionalism

Our Code of Conduct defines the values and standards by which KPMG conducts business. It is designed to provide partners and employees in the U.S. firm with a clear understanding of the standards of conduct that pertain to our respective roles in the firm; the Code of Conduct is intended to be a road map to help guide our actions and behaviors at KPMG.
