What does the acronym KPMG stand for? It has something to do with Knowledge Management.?

Additional Details
Thanks. I was trying to get at whether the acronym had anything to do with knowledge management because the acronym comes up a lot when researching knowledge management trends and practices. Thanks for your help.

K stands for Klynveld. This originates from the accounting firm Klynveld Kraayenhof & Co. founded by Piet Klynveld in Amsterdam in 1917.

P is for Peat, originating from the accounting firm William Barclay Peat & Co., which was founded by William Barclay Peat in London in 1870.

M stands for Marwick. James Marwick founded the accounting firm Marwick, Mitchell & Co. together with Roger Mitchell in New York City in 1897.

G is for Goerdeler. Dr. Reinhard Goerdeler was for many years chairman of the German Deutsche Treuhand-Gesellschaft (DTG) and later chairman of KPMG. He is credited with laying much of the groundwork for the KMG merger.

Klynveld Peat Marwick Goerdeler it is a consulting / public accounting company. KPMG might provide knowldge management services as a company but the acronym itself has nothing to do with it.

It is the former Peat Marwick accounting firm. Everyone else answered so I'll stop typing.

This is what the acronym dictionary has:
KPMG International - A Swiss association. KPMG International's member firms have more than 100,000 professionals, including 7,000 partners, in 155 countries. KPMG is the accounting, tax and financial advisory firm that understands the needs of business in the global economy. In 1994, Peat Marwick Thorne and Peat Marwick Stevenson & Kellogg -- the Canadian branch -- joined forces to become KPMG Canada. In 1996, the firm standardized its name
internationally as KPMG.)

It's an accounting/consulting firm, now called BearingPoint.

At some point in its history, one of the merged companies was "Peat Marwick", which accounts for the "PM" part of the name.
