Government Services

The profound changes taking place in the region are consequently bringing about a re-thinking of government activities, not only in the sense of a mere "adjustment" to rationalize public expenditure, but as a new approach in understanding government activities based on the quality of the services they render to the community.

The government sector has undergone deep changes over the last few years.
PricewaterhouseCoopers acknowledges that rendering services to the State requires:

• Ample availability of human resources experienced in the government sector
• Mechanisms to promote developing intuition, creativeness and ingenuity to create new proposals geared to address and solve impending challenges
• Specific training programs

In this context, PricewaterhouseCoopers has accompanied this process of change from the outset and has formed a critical mass that is multidisciplinary and highly trained for these tasks.

Major services rendered to government entities, apart from those covered in this presentation, include the following:

I. Financial, economic and tax advice for national and municipal revenue authorities

Our firm is the undisputed leader in the sector and is able to provide government a package of abilities, people and efforts that can hardly be matched.
Our financial, economic and tax experts provide advice in specialized issues, including public utilities, regulatory bodies, legal context, regulations and economic factors. We advise on privatization issues, including sale of assets and concessions, economic impact analysis, cost of capital studies and credit risk analysis, among others.

II. Government re-sizing support

Our firm helps government entities operate more effectively through improvements in financial systems, human resources, automated production and logistics, financial, accounting and management controls and economic and statistical analysis. We provide a broad range of services that can be adapted to specific needs and circumstances. Our specialists are up to date on the latest trends and train organizational personnel on new legislation and issues to enable them to anticipate rather than react to change.

III. Strategic consulting, change integration and organizational efficiency

The aforementioned restructuring of government entities will oblige existing divisions to reorganize in order to adapt to new scenarios. Strategic Change and Change Integration methodologies enable the planning and development of organizational changes with an adequate and timely integration of all components of effective solutions and response to needs.
PricewaterhouseCoopers can help with a range of services from high level policy analysis and detailed task descriptions to staff member training at the entity. Specialized practice areas include cost/benefit studies, organizational analyses, program evaluations and strategic planning. Performance measurement services include resource assignment, transfer cost and management performance systems that help clarify and improve contributions to efficiency.
Cost management also forms part of an institution's organization. Cost reductions, operations standardizations and efficiency reviews are techniques applied by our people to improve our clients’ operating performance.
