KPMG Jordan will join KPMG Europe
(ELLP), bringing the number of member countries up to
18.
The firm in Jordan has five partners and more
than 90 staff, and its addition will enhance KPMG Europe’s
provision of audit, tax and advisory services across the Middle
East.
ELLP joint chairman John Griffith-Jones and
Rolf Nonnenmacher said by linking the firms together it will have
greater impact in meeting the needs of its clients in what is one
of the fastest growing regions in the world.
“Our clients and employees increasingly are
more internationally focused…with even better access to
international specialists in all industries, we are further
strengthening our ability to support businesses that are based in
Jordan, Kuwait, and Saudi Arabia,” Griffith-Jones and Nonnenmacher
added.
“The decision to join ELLP is to form an even
stronger presence in the region which will bring new opportunities
for both our clients and our people. This is a significant step in
creating an integrated firm with the strength and resources
necessary to compete effectively in the changing global economic
environment,” KPMG Jordan’s managing partner Hatem Kawasmy
said.
