KPMG LLP's (KPMG) International Executive Services (IES) practice is part of a global network of professionals from KPMG International member firms. The IES practice helps companies deal with their globally mobile workforces.
Today the global network - over 1,800 professionals from KPMG International member firms worldwide - provides services for more than 60,000 mobile employees/assignees in more than 800 organizations.
Managing your global workforce
For many global organizations, the pressure to compete means increasing the size, scope, and/or complexity of their global workforce. Managing the demands involved in growing a global workforce involves reporting, withholding and regulatory compliance issues in each country in which your employees and organization operate. This can use up significant resources.

Global Mobility Risk Management
Our IES practice can help financial, tax, and human resources (HR) leaders better manage their internationally mobile workforces. Our skilled professionals are adept at providing tax advice that supports a myriad of financial, tax, technology, and HR issues, including the following: Tax Withholding and Reporting, Unrecorded Liabilities, Indirect Taxes, Permanent Establishment Exposure, Transfer Pricing Adjustments and Inter-company Accounting, and Data Privacy Rules, These are just a few of the concerns shared by financial and tax leaders dedicated to risk management for their global workforces. Such costly, complex, and time-exhausting matters can test the capabilities and technological resources of any organization, while defining its ability to compete on an international scale.
The IES practices of KPMG International’s member firms can respond to the many challenges confronting organizations in the management of their global workforces.
Income tax and social security compliance
KPMG's IES professionals prepare individually personalized tax returns for our firms' clients' international assignees. Our services can cover the compliance cycle: from pre-departure counseling, income tax return preparation and tax reconciliations, to correspondence with tax authorities.
But our objective is to provide value beyond the preparation of tax returns.
By working closely with member firms' clients, we can provide tax consulting services that are designed to help both the company and the international assignee identify potential long-term tax savings. As part of our compliance process, we also offer tax-related payroll consulting services that can help companies comply with withholding and reporting requirements.
The global network of international social security professionals can help employers and international assignees comply with complex international social security rules. These rules may vary significantly and can be complex at both international and domestic levels.
Global Mobility Advisory Services
To excel in the global marketplace, an organization’s international assignment program should support their overall business strategies and contribute to the bottom line. Our Global Mobility Advisory Services professionals can advise organizations on the management of their international assignment programs.
KPMG conducts surveys of organizations' international assignment programs so that an organization can benchmark its global assignment policies against comparable competitor groups. Our firms' clients and member firms’ clients use this information to help establish their position within an appropriate peer group, taking account of relevant objectives to potentially improve or realign their policies, processes and procedures.
KPMG has developed the Global Assignment Policies and Practices (GAPP) Survey. The GAPP Survey is one of the first online surveys of global assignment issues that provide participants with immediate feedback to help benchmark their policies and evaluate new trends. There is no cost to participate in the survey and results are available immediately upon completion. Participants can also request customized survey reports. Please register at www.kpmglink.com and take the survey today.
