KPMG will work alongside the Gold Coast 2018 Commonwealth Games Corporation (GOLDOC) to manage and maintain the fiscal wellbeing of the event.
Kate Jones, state Minister for the Commonwealth Games, welcomed the partnership and detailed the advisory role that the firm will play as part of the event planning process.
“KPMG will play a key behind-the-scenes role by providing financial planning, risk management, taxation and internal audit expertise to GOLDOC,” Ms Jones said.
“KPMG is the only big four professional services firm with a dedicated office on the Gold Coast and will bring more local knowledge and expertise to the Games as the first Tier Two sponsor,” she added.
Rob Jones, KPMG’s Queensland chair and leader of the firm’s Games services teams, said the Games will define the Gold Coast, describing the role as a once-in-a-generation opportunity.
“It’s a real privilege to be so closely involved with the Games, ensuring that the business of the Games is as strong as the sporting performances,” Mr Jones said.
