Dive Brief:
KPMG has rolled out a new tool designed to help clients navigate 'an increasingly complex trade and tariff landscape,' the Big Four accounting and consulting firm said in a May 1 release.
The tool, which is powered by generative artificial intelligence and featured on KPMG's Digital Gateway platform, allows users to simulate potential tariff scenarios and visualize impacts on global supply chain operations, among other capabilities, according to a company description.
'Businesses across every industry are confronting significant challenges as they move quickly to adapt their trade strategies to tackle tariff disruption,' George Zaharatos, KPMG's global data and technology leader, said in an email. 'With our AI-powered platform, we're helping clients firm-wide at unprecedented speed, underscoring the imperative of acting swiftly in response to these impactful trade policies.'
Dive Insight:
Global consulting firms are ramping up their use of AI to boost internal capabilities while also enhancing the services they provide to enterprise clients.
Last month, KPMG announced the integration of AI agents into Clara, the firm's global smart audit platform. That move, the company says, will enable more than 95,000 auditors globally to automate routine tasks.
In March, competitor Deloitte unveiled a new suite of 'ready-to-deploy' AI agents designed to automate workflows across business functions, including financial management.
And PwC said in March that it was rolling out a platform designed to help enterprises with operating multi-agent business processes at scale.
KPMG's new tariff tool can help with complex analyses that play a role in mitigation strategies a CFO might choose to adopt, according to Andrew Siciliano, global and U.S. head of trade and customs at KPMG.
'For example, just because a product is shipped from China, doesn't mean the country of origin is China,' Siciliano said in an email. 'Determining country of origin is important as a tariff applies to an import based on the country that the goods originated from.'
More than 100 Fortune 500 and top private equity clients are already implementing the tool to prepare for and respond to ongoing trade policy changes, KPMG said in its press release.

KPMG Women's PGA Championship showcases cutting-edge platform KPMG Performance Insights
Over the past quarter century, advanced analytics have transformed much of the sports world. Thanks to technology platforms such as the PGA Tour's ShotLink, Tour players, coaches, media and fans now have more performance data at their fingertips than they could ever possibly consume. Relative to other sports leagues, the LPGA was late to the analytics party, but has made up for lost time, thanks to the 2021 introduction of KPMG Performance Insights, which generates the sort of advanced analytics and performance data that had been missing from the women's game for years. LPGA athletes suddenly had a wealth of information to help them make small adjustments in their practice routines or tournament play that would translate into significant performance gains. Hole 17at Sahalee CC - KPMG Performance Insights Branding – 2024 KPMG Women's PGA Championship. Since its inception, KPMG has been relentless in scaling up the platform. In 2022, for example, KPMG Performance Insights added a player dashboard (an example can be found here) with personalized portals that provide access to data and insights. In 2023, in support of KPMG ambassador and U.S. Solheim Cup captain Stacy Lewis, the company provided KPMG Performance Insights tools, such as analyzing 20,000 simulations to identify the optimal pairings for the matches. Those simulations went so far as to identify how players perform under pressure or on certain types of grass. Example of Player Dashboard. Last year KPMG Performance Insights went next level through the incorporation of AI-empowered predictive analytics that provided leading-edge insights for LPGA tournaments. Additionally, to enhance the KPMG Women's PGA Championship, KPMG partnered with T-Mobile to introduce KPMG CHAMPCAST presented by T-Mobile, which leverages ShotLink Pro 2.0 cutting-edge technology to create an immersive experience for fans watching at home or onsite. (An example of KPMG CHAMPCAST can be found here.)

'Through KPMG Performance Insights and KPMG CHAMPCAST presented by T-Mobile, we're providing the players with real-time, shot-level data and analytics. With features like win probabilities, winning score projections, a dedicated player portal, 3D imagery, shot trails and individual shot highlights, players, fans and the media are able to get closer to the action than ever before.' KPMG CHAMPCAST presented by T-Mobile. As has been the case from the outset, KPMG continues to ramp up its platform by adding more features and benefits for players and fans. For the 2025 KPMG Women's PGA Championship, KPMG is providing new, enhanced features through an AI-generated daily recap. Hole-by-hole AI course analytics that will help players decide how best to attack the difficult Fields Ranch East layout at PGA Frisco. This feature will provide players with information on the best way to play each hole and the trouble spots to avoid on the course. Advertisement Based on the KPMG Performance Insights Daily Recap (an example can be found here) from Thursday's first round, there is a 92% chance the cutline falls between +2 and +4. Players will be able to use this data to help them decide how aggressively they will need to play in the second round. As an example, KPMG ambassador Leona Maguire currently sits at even par through 18 holes. Based on insights from the report, a round of 75 Friday gives her a 95% chance to make the weekend. Additional insights from the recap show the relative difficulty of each hole from the first round. For example, hole 6 (a 446-yard par 4 with bunkers protecting the green) currently has a birdie or better percentage of 2% and a bogey or worse percentage of nearly 50%. As players head into their second round, they will know that a score of par on the sixth hole is actually helping them gain strokes on the field. Daily recap graphic. These are all great tools for LPGA fans and media, but they're invaluable to the LPGA players.

'We are excited about our new KPMG Performance Insights Daily Recaps that include AI-powered course analysis, which provides players data on how each hole is playing, and AI-generated scoring targets, so the players can see the predicted cut line and winning scores. These powerful insights will equip the players so they can adjust their approach as they prepare for the next round.'

Female College Athletes File Title IX Appeal Over NCAA $2.8B Settlement
Female College Athletes File Title IX Appeal Over NCAA $2.8B Settlement originally appeared on Athlon Sports. A group of female college athletes has filed a Title IX-based appeal against the recently approved House v. NCAA settlement, which officially ends the NCAA's amateurism model and allows revenue-sharing for Division I athletes. Advertisement The appeal claims the $2.8 billion settlement, allocating $2.4 billion to male athletes and only $102 million to female athletes, violates gender equity laws under Title IX. 'The House Settlement allocates $2.4 billion to men and only $102 million to women,' objecting attorney Leigh Ernst Friestedt told CBS Sports. 'This significant dispartity constitutes a violation of Title IX.' Filed in the Ninth Circuit, the appeal was led by athletes from Vanderbilt, College of Charleston, and Virginia. While the appeal won't stop future revenue-sharing, which is set to begin July 1, 2025. The appeal could delay the back payments to athletes covering the years 2016–2024. These payments, totaling nearly $2.8 billion, were agreed upon to avoid $20 billion in damages. The NCAA is responsible for $277 million annually over 10 years, funded partly by reduced distributions to schools. The settlement introduces stricter regulation of NIL deals through Deloitte's 'NIL Go' clearinghouse. Any unapproved deals over $600 may lead to athlete ineligibility or school penalties. Advertisement Deloitte claims it would have rejected 70% of past NIL collective deals. Additionally, revenue-sharing will favor football (75%) and men's basketball (15%), with only 5% each for women's basketball and all other sports.
