Government
Improving public service delivery.
Accelerate the pace of efficient citizen services
Governments and public service organizations must keep pace with innovation, find creative ways to remain relevant, be transparent to their constituents, and deliver services consistent with their objectives while investing in the future. The government is complex and ever-evolving with departments, agencies, and organizations that require specialized expertise and experience to deliver services effectively and efficiently. We understand the unique challenges that the government faces, and we have the knowledge, experience, and resources to provide exceptional public services.
Our team has extensive experience working with federal, provincial, and municipal levels of government within Canada and around the world.
We have an accomplished record of helping the Government of Canada exceed public policy and service delivery goals for over two decades. From advising government clients on accessibility to helping develop one of Canada’s most widely used mobile applications, our future-forward advisory team has expertise in business optimization, strategy and modern workplace, and solutions delivery in cloud and data to help you cut through the red tape.

BDO understands that federal departments and agencies have pressure to deliver quality services, create efficient processes, and establish new standards. Our expertise in cloud, cyber, compliance, risk, and performance reviews allow us to help these organizations drive towards improved efficiency and increased effectiveness.
In light of the ever-changing economic and political landscape, provincial departments and agencies are expected to create greater transparency, efficiency, and accountability in their activities. BDO helps identify and clarify stakeholder expectations, use data and technology more effectively, streamline processes, and develop the workforce.
It is essential that a municipality demonstrate its value to citizens and stakeholders, but shrinking budgets and the need to improve operations pose significant challenges. We use our extensive experience in addressing these issues to help municipal governments across the country meet growing constituent demands.
