Our specialized comprehensive reviews, costing reports and economic studies have resulted in recommendations that have been valued and appreciated publicly as well as in confidence.

A foundation of trust for 150 years KPMG in Canada is the Canadian member firm, affiliated with KPMG International - a global network with a history of 150 years. We have effectively navigated volatility before. We are resolutely committed to contributing to the renewal and acceleration of increased trust in public sector services, programs, institutions, and the executives tasked with leading them. Let’s make this return to trust a reality by continuing to build a future-ready Canada together, for better. For public service organizations, including the Federal government, the issue of trust is fundamental. The public needs confidence that Canadian institutions have the resolve and capability to deliver on their expectations. Today’s political, economic, and social atmosphere, make this a formidable challenge. There is uncertainty in this moment and there seem to be more predicaments than ever before. From the reality of climate change to geopolitical complexities and economic challenges, there do not appear to be many easy answers. Moreover, set against the pace of technological innovation accelerating our collective future and the implications this brings compounds this complexity. These circumstances have raised the stakes for public sector executives and the communities they serve. Responding effectively to meet public expectations necessitates trust. Building on shared experiences This is not something that public service organizations best do alone. When they cooperate and collaborate, positive outcomes and results for the pubic are multiplied. These partnerships must be built on trust. Shared purpose reinforces and strengthens the foundation from which to build back better. At KPMG in Canada, we have worked with a myriad of public services organizations to support them as they ensure that they have the management capacity, skills, and knowledge to empower decision makers with moving massive transformation agendas ahead smoothly, efficiently, and cost-effectively in increasingly demanding environments. In many ways your operational concerns are our concerns – from return-to-work to procurement process improvements and performance, retention, talent management and delivering the workforce of the future. The trust KPMG in Canada has earned is not taken lightly. For years we have served to help design, deliver, and manage frontline programs, provided assurance and risk services to prevent fraud and safeguard institutions against bad actors and sophisticated operators. We are proud to have contributed to improving the safety and integrity of social services, economic programs, and critical infrastructure by advising on major capital projects and providing third-party assurance at the highest levels of government including being intrusted to provide audit services to democratic institutions.
