Local Government

Serving the public through challenges and opportunities

Today the public sector faces critical challenges and uphill battles on many fronts.

Solving these challenges requires you to find balance between competing demands for resources, political headwinds and quality of life issues. Drawing the battle lines requires skilled leadership, conscientious and dedicated employees and trusted advisors that have the experience and expertise to identify solutions, options and opportunities.

The key challenges you may face include accommodating constantly changing and complex accounting standards, regulations and financial reporting demands, managing within limited operating budgets because of tax lids, as well as recruiting and retaining quality public service employees.

Local government, public sector and municipal entities including counties, cities, townships, school districts, recreation commissions and cemeteries look to us for operational, regulatory compliance, internal controls and fraud and process improvement advice and solutions.

When challenged, opportunity arises to innovate and enhance the positive impact you have on your communities.
