SKP and Affiliate (SKP)

firms operate locally in states around the India. But by working together, member firms also comprise a vigorous network. This structure provides SKP firms with the flexibility to operate simultaneously as the most local and the most global of businesses. As a direct result, we are able to serve a broad range of clients: large, publicly-listed multinationals; small, private, domestic companies; and almost everything in between.

In most parts of the India, the right to practice accountancy is granted only to state firms in which locally qualified professionals have majority or full ownership. Consequently, SKP member firms are locally owned and managed. But local ownership also confers two additional strengths: a deep understanding of local markets; and the sense of individual responsibility and initiative that comes from having a stake in the practice.

SKP Member firms are also part of regional groups that promote cooperation and application of common strategies, risk, and quality standards. Its primary activities are to: identify broad market opportunities and develop associated strategies; strengthen SKP’s internal product, skill, and knowledge networks; and develop and work for the consistent application of common risk and quality standards by member firms, including compliance with independence processes.

The unit of organization most critical to our success is also its smallest and most fluid: the client engagement team. Much of the decision-making authority relating to how client needs are met rests with engagement teams. The team also has primary responsibility for building and expanding client relationships. And the team is where much of our people’s professional development occurs and SKP’s culture is passed to younger professionals. As a consequence, each piece of the SKP network shares a single, overriding aim: to help engagement teams connect with clients, win work, and mentor the next generation of leaders.
