Our Government and Public Sector (G&PS) Services Group that draws from Assurance, Advisory and Tax lines of service, is the embodiment of our commitment to working on the most challenging issues with governments, development partners and non-governmental organissations (NGOs), as they strive to deliver better services to the people.

Our G&PS motto is “Partner, Lead and Grow”, which captures the essence of how we work in the Public Sector. We partner with our clients in the Public Sector, providing them with innovative solutions to the variety of strategic, policy and operational challenges that they routinely face.

We have a substantial client base in all sectors, which enables us to continually refresh our knowledge and to benchmark practices and controls across different sector players. Due to the diversity of our experience, we would be able to provide you with useful feedback on your issues, systems and controls from a sector-wide perspective.
