Federal government

The Canadian government faces the ongoing challenge of delivering results for Canada in an increasingly complex environment against a background of growing expectations of the public and business, demographic change including an ageing population, technological change and high project and program complexity, globalization and accumulative fiscal pressures.

KPMG in Canada’s 150-year long history attests to our ability to help our clients navigate the challenges of today and build for the future.

Our network of professionals has deep experience working with government clients providing a complete range of advisory, audit, and tax services. Our experienced professionals and subject matter experts have the skill, insights and capabilities to help government executives renew and reinvigorate trust in services, programs and institutions. By combining hands-on local experience with insights and experience from across our global network, we support our government clients in building a sustainable future for all.

For public service organizations, the single most important issue is trust. The public needs confidence that public institutions have the resolve and capability to meet their expectations and achieve the results they need and want.

Given today’s political, economic and social atmosphere, it’s a formidable challenge. Uncertainty defines our moment. We’re staring down more question marks than ever before. From the existential risk of climate change to geopolitical complexities and economic challenges, there are no easy answers. Against this demanding backdrop, technological innovation is accelerating our futures and rendering them more complex.

These circumstances are raising the stakes for public sector executives and the communities they serve. To respond effectively to change and meet public expectations, it’s time for a return to trust.  

That’s not something that service organizations can do alone. They need to cooperate and collaborate. Those need to be built on trust, too.

Shared purpose builds that foundation. Your operational concerns are our concerns – from return-to-work policies to procurement process improvements and performance, leveraging new technologies and planning for the future as well as the retention and right-sizing of a talented workforce. 

When organizations seek renewed accountability, they want professionals they can rely on. KPMG Canada is one of 142 distinct member firms affiliated with KPMG International. We have a long-established foundation of trust with public service collaborators in Canada and in jurisdictions facing similar challenges. It’s something for which we are immensely proud.
