Performance Improvement

PricewaterhouseCoopers’ (PwC) performance improvement offering helps clients attain increased performance by improving the efficiency and effectiveness of company’s key business operations. Using our deep understanding of finance, risk management/compliance, IT systems, operations and human resources, we help our clients identify and implement cost saving initiatives, improve management and control, identify and manage risk and improve quality. We also use our proven experience and knowledge to provide hands-on assistance to improve financial under-performance and cash-flow management.

We focus on financial effectiveness, IT effectiveness and governance, risk and compliance business operations, applying data, technology and change and programme effectiveness skills to address the challenges your business face.

Our deep industry skill and understanding ensures tailored solutions to support our clients’ response to increasing regulation, competition, risk and costs.

Current market issues:

PwC helps clients address market issues such as:-

  • Risk management is at the top of the board agenda due to high profile business failures — we work with your board and senior management to implement recommendations to better manage risk.
  • Heavy regulatory pressure is increasing compliance requirements — we work closely with our clients to pursue an effective approach to improve compliance in a streamlined and efficient manner.
  • Economic forces are dictating that cost management is a priority — we can advise on the best ways to reduce costs in areas such as finance and IT while maintaining effectiveness and quality.
  • With 41% of change programmes failing and of the 59% that ‘succeed’ only half meet the expectations of senior management¹, organisations expect a measurable return on change programmes and a focus on achieved outcomes — we have developed a framework for the delivery of benefits and management of change, incorporating strategies and tools to assist you to manage the people aspects of major change.
  • Corporations today are placing higher priority on internal controls and data quality as they confront mergers and acquisitions, system consolidations, new system implementations, scrutiny of potential fraudulent activities, and the pressing need for adherence to regulatory and compliance requirements — we can assess the current state of your security and controls and work with you to achieve an effective security and controls approach.
  • Increased and complex reporting requirements mean that organisations are relying on volumes of spreadsheets, whereby excessive time is spent on manual retrieval, searching, and re-keying of data — we can identify the most critical files, assess the controls and integrity of the data, and develop a long term strategy to effect timely, accurate, and flexible reporting.
