Government & Public Sector Overview - Ernst & Young - United States

US Government & 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 & 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.
Supporting veterans and their families

We’re supporting a new group of entrepreneurs — family members of veterans from the Iraq and Afghanistan wars. Entrepreneurship Bootcamp for Veterans’ Families is an all-expense paid program that teaches family members of veterans, who have been killed or disabled, the fundamentals of starting and running a small business.
