Public Sector 

To meet all these expectations, public sector organizations regularly rethink the way they operate. By so doing they continue to evolve towards a competitive and dynamic government. By providing strategic advice and practical insights the multidisciplinary team of KPMG Public Sector (with staff from Advisory - Tax & Legal - Fiduciary - Audit) can offer governments at federal, regional and local level customer-oriented support during this process.

 

An effective and dynamic government is characterized by the following features:

 

• Communication – Open, complete and timely communication with the citizen (the client) and all involved parties is crucial.

 

• Public Governance – Organization management and leadership: the separation between the roles of policy preparer, policy maker (politics) and policy performer (civil servant) leads to a more balanced, responsible, independent and professional policy (by implementing internal controls, risk management and detailed reports).

 

• Employees – The beating heart of a competitive and dynamic organization is the role, reliability and commitment of the staff.

 

• Competence and professionalism – Promoting a personnel management that focuses on education, training, personal counseling, career planning and innovative thinking.

 

• Quality management – Existing processes are tested with regard to performance management information systems and management techniques, thoroughly reviewed, and adjusted where necessary.

 

• Transparency and focus on results – Public resources are used efficiently through management agreements with an obligation to achieve a result. Outsourcing, feasibility and effectiveness studies and benchmarking are among the standard practices.

 

• Administrative simplification – Interaction between citizens and government through simple and clear procedures (e.g. ‘one stop shop’).
