Public Sector Advisory Services

Find the public sector advisory expertise you need, all in one place.

Governmental entities are under the microscope more than ever before. With increasing demand for public services and the unpredictability of funding, remaining focused on the mission has never been more important. Navigating these and other issues effectively requires a combination of skills and knowledge that may not always be available in-house.

Our professionals are armed with relevant public sector experience, top-tier data analytics tools, and process knowledge to help you address the risks and challenges of trying to do more with less. Our solutions are specifically tailored to each client and can help you improve service delivery outcomes, comply with policy requirements, reduce costs, and address fraud, waste, and abuse.

Cybersecurity & IT Risk

Are your defenses strong enough to withstand a cyberattack? We can help remedy weaknesses in your systems or respond to a breach if you've already been hit by hackers.

Operations Management Consulting

Implementing operational change, improving performance, and remaining compliant with a bevy of regulations can be a drain on your resources. Having a trusted advisor who can analyze your operations from multiple points of view can result in more efficient and effective operations.

Using performance measurement and data analytics techniques, FORVIS can help you develop practical management tools to provide insight into your organization’s performance. We can provide these solutions:

Performance Audits
Performance Improvement & Advisory Services
Data Analytics & Monitoring Services
Third-Party Contract Audits & Compliance
Construction Audits

In addition to the above offerings, our advisors can craft assessment or planning services to align with your specific objectives.

Our experienced professionals can help you manage risk by custom building your risk management program, setting strategies, and providing tools that can be applied consistently across your organization.
