The new staff include Martin A. Griffiths as principal in the Federal Tax practice, who previously was senior vice president at Irvine Company, overseeing its income and property tax group; K. Peter Ritter, principal in the San Francisco Federal Tax practice, who previously was a tax partner at law firm OMelveny & Myers LLP; Dan Prager, managing director in the Federal Tax AIF practice, who most recently was head of Corporate Finance for Telefnica Czech Republic; Richard Hinton, seconded partner in the San Francisco AIF practice, who previously held a number of audit and advisory roles at KPMG; and Graeme Fletcher, principal in International Corporate Services, who transferred from KPMGs Atlanta office to San Francisco.
KPMG is determined to put in place the best team of talent in the industry focusing on serving alternative investment firms, large, medium and small, says Chuck Walker, national partner in charge of Alternative Investment Funds Tax at KPMG. We are thrilled to announce the latest partners to join us as we continue strengthening our Alternative Investments team.
The new appointees will focus on helping alternative investment firms as they face evolving regulations around the globe, particularly the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA), private fund systemic risk reporting (Form PF) and the Alternative Investment Fund Managers Directive (AIFMD).
