KPMG and his team . On the other hand , the second pillar focuses on tech-savvy , agile firms . Instead of providing advice on digital transformation , those companies rather require guidance to increase their processual and organisational maturity . In those projects , KPMG can leverage long-lasting experience in providing compliance services to large corporates . A vivid example is only weeks ago , where Distelrath and his team were able to assure a tech-driven start-up with the well-known SOC2 attestation . By that , the young company can now prove its sustainable growth and the maturity of its internal control system to its customers .
While Distelrath as a director is responsible for relationship management with the clients , identifying their needs , and being a sparring partner , he sees his team at the core of project delivery : “ My role is to engage my team to be involved in these initiatives to create the best outcome for our clients by combining our know-how and expertise . KPMG does not just specialise in digital implementation but has also developed deep expertise in things like cybersecurity and supply chain transformation . If we need to bring in specialist knowledge , we have access to the Global KPMG organisation , which means bringing in a multitude of subject matter experts event at short notice to assist us in our projects ”.
