The complexity and magnitude of government responsibilities are increasing. Resources are limited, but the demand for additional services continues to grow. Public scrutiny and the demand for performance and accountability are intensifying.
In response to society’s changing needs, governments are reforming their policies and changing the way services are delivered. Increasingly, governments are focusing both on the need to bridge the infrastructure gap to support the economy’s momentum, and the concurrent need to manage public finances and strengthen national budgetary oversight. Consequently, governments are also considering different approaches to financial, contract and risk management.
KPMG works with all levels of government to help them respond to policy and service delivery challenges. We have dedicated teams who focus on the different functions of government as well as key sectors and issues. These areas of focus are:
- · National Government
- · EU regulations, directives and funding opportunities
- · Healthcare
- · Care of the Elderly
- · Education
- · Infrastructure
- · Environmental management
- · Social policy.
We draw on a long track record of helping government departments and agencies with strategic planning, policy development, management of complex issues and large scale implementation, and with the financing of major infrastructural projects.
We have acted as key advisers on restructuring major operations in different sectors. We have advised on commercialisation and privatisation. We have helped governments introduce major financial reforms and we have assisted in large-scale reforms in the health and aged care sectors.
Our people understand the environment, culture, policies and procedures of government.
