US Government and Public Sector
The new administration in Washington is promising government that works better, is more transparent and costs less. Federal agencies and departments are addressing an array of issues – from energy and the environment to education, healthcare, homeland security and the current economic crisis – and challenging senior officials and executives to meet heightened expectations for performance and service delivery.
Ernst & Young has been helping clients manage change for years. We leverage lessons learned in both the private and commercial sectors to bring fresh perspectives to a company or an agency’s operations.
The US Government and Public Sector (US-GPS) provides federal agencies with a full range of assurance services and advisory services focused on process and systems improvement.
US –GPS: How we can help make a difference
Ernst & Young can help federal agencies become:
- More efficient. In the new era of doing more with less, government must work efficiently. Drawing on our extensive experience, we identify ways to keep operations lean and effective.
- More adept at mitigating risk. We help clients develop and implement the stringent risk-management protocols needed to protect information-technology infrastructure from a range of threats and meet the requirements of public accountability and compliance.
- Better able to manage programs. Using proven, leading practices, we help identify and respond to challenges in the execution of major program and policy initiatives.
- More effective in using shared services. Our experience implementing shared services in both the public and private sectors, help agencies set realistic timelines, achieve stakeholder buy-in and achieve priority goals.
- Skilled at managing infrastructure projects for public-private partnerships. Infrastructure reform is a vital part of ensuring economic prosperity. We have extensive experience supporting the selection process and execution of PPPs.
