The National Association of State Auditors, Comptrollers and Treasurers (NASACT) will offer specialized finance and human resources/payroll benchmarking services to state governments under a contract signed with The Hackett Group and Accenture.
Under the terms of the agreement, announced at the 2005 NASACT Annual Conference, NASACT will offer benchmarking and related consulting services from Hackett and Accenture to all 50 states as well as the District of Columbia and the U.S. territories. The program will offer state governments a way to analyze and target improvements in the efficiency and effectiveness of their finance and HR/payroll operations; compare their performance with that of their public- and private-sector peers; and compare the performance of individual agencies with others in their state.The benchmarks are designed to help state governments identify areas where they can benefit from best practices and target processes that are inefficient, and to help state finance managers prioritize where they can make process improvements through standardization and simplification. The benchmarks can also be a useful tool in annual planning processes, helping state governments establish business cases for process transformation in the context of enterprise resource planning implementations and evaluate whether business operations can be centralized or moved to shared service centers.
"This is an exceptional opportunity for state governments looking to streamline their operations, giving them a detailed objective assessment of their performance in these areas and the ability to learn from the best practices employed by top-performing organizations," said NASACT Executive Director Kinney Poynter. "We selected Hackett and Accenture as our partners for this program because they have the proven ability to offer recommendations and analysis driven by empirical data, a comprehensive knowledge base of best practices in these areas, and a good understanding of how state governments operate. We're very excited about the development of a first database of state government metrics and what that database can do for our member states."
