Public Sector

Our multi-disciplinary group of 20 professionals serves a broad range of governmental entities. While many firms have industry concentrations, LaPorte’s Public Sector Industry Group meets monthly to cross-train, identify best practices, review industry trends, and work together to reach collective solutions for our clients.

We regularly send our clients relevant newsletters; e-blasts on urgent issues; and email updates from the McGladrey Alliance Bulletin Board, the American Institute of Public Accountants, and the Practitioner’s Publishing Company Governmental Update.
