At PricewaterhouseCoopers, we believe there are many ways Governments can improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the way they develop, implement, monitor and evaluate policy to deliver modern customer and citizen centered services. At the same time, Governments must strive to deliver these services more economically, providing the public with greater levels of accountability and transparency, and ensuring their activities are sustainable.
We are working as partners with donors, governments and other stakeholders in development assistance by providing a comprehensive range of advisory, tax and assurance services.
We also offer specific solutions to many of the most challenging issues for Governments and the public sector including:
- Developing and managing the increasing fiscal pressures and the expanding risk profiles of Government and public sector organisations while demonstrating fiscally responsible management of public resources;
- Responding to democratic pressure for more timely and relevant information, greater transparency, disclosure and accountability while continuing to provide privacy and security protection of individuals and organizations being served;
- Understanding and implementing new Government and public sector accounting, and financial management guidelines, policies and practices while continuing to deal with the complex reporting environments found in this sector;
- Managing and making large-scale investments in infrastructure and operations while demonstrating, tracking and reporting publicly on the value-for-money proposition inherent in the projects;
- Gaining maximum value from investments in information technology through planning, sourcing, implementation support and operations; bringing best practices and discipline to IT while simultaneously improving service levels and maintaining reliable continuity of operations;
- Attracting investment for new initiatives, such as business process outsourcing, and PPP projects while demonstrating comparable advantage in the context of the requirements of a level planning field of competition;
- Transforming and reforming troubled organizations and individual operational units that are facing uncertainty and change that has led to underperformance, while meeting the need to maintain continuity of service as alternate recovery plans are put in place;
- Dealing with the serious capacity constraints at the justice, social development and health clusters, and local Government arising from a shortage of properly qualified managers, professional and technical personnel.
