Members of KPMG’s Diversity Advisory Board head the firm’s six national networks (including three for employees of color, and one for women), which sponsor leadership summits and panel discussions with top executives.

Top 5  Women and ethnically diverse employees make up more than 63% of all workers at this audit, tax and advisory services firm—and its search for multicultural talent begins early. Its Future Diversity Leaders program provides eligible college students of color with up to three intern­ships each and $6,000 in scholarships, then offers them a position; its involvement in the Howard University School of Business Executive Leadership Honors Program allows it to contribute to the training of African­ American students who might become employees. The firm’s own Diversity Advisory Board establishes employee representation goals and makes an annual report to its management committee and board of directors.
