UANI Applauds KPMG For Ending Its Business in Iran
 

New York, NY -  United Against Nuclear Iran (UANI) applauds KPMG for its decision to end its business in Iran.
 
UANI, on March 12, 2010, called on KPMG to end it business dealings in Iran.  KPMG, on April 1, 2010, in a letter to UANI, announced that it would sever its business ties in Iran. 
 
Responding to the decision, UANI President Ambassador Mark D. Wallace said "We applaud KPMG's decision.  KPMG is a world expert in business risk.  KPMG deemed its own business in Iran as too risky to continue.  If doing business in Iran is too risky for KPMG, then such business is clearly too risky for all responsible businesses. No longer will irresponsible companies operating in Iran be able to secure a KPMG audit of that business."

UANI maintains on its website the Iran Business Registry (IBR), a list of companies that have been reported to do business in Iran. 
 
UANI has effectively pressured companies such as General Electric, Huntsman, Siemens, Caterpillar, and Ingersoll Rand to end their business in Iran.
