KPMG = Klynveld Peat Marwick Goerdeler.

It represents the names of the "founders" (I guess you can call them) of KPMG.

  • K comes from Piet Klynveld, founder of the accounting firm Klynveld Kraayenhof & Co (Amsterdam, 1917)
  • P comes from Peat, after William Barclay Peat, founder of the accounting firm William Barclay Peat & Co (London, 1870)
  • M comes from James Marwick, co-founder of the accounting firm Marwick, Mitchell & Co(New York City, 1897)
  • G comes from Reinhard Goerdeler, chairman of KPMG.
