Finance Analytics for Public Sector

With a complete and interactive view of programs, budgets, and high-level trends across the entire organization, public sector finance leaders and analysts are able to identify outliers, drill into specific data points, and mitigate the risks associated with fraud, waste, and abuse. The pivot towards more robust data analytics is also driven by policies and legislation that requires organizations to champion open data, improve transparency, increase accountability, reduce improper payments, and ensure program efficiency.

Using the Tableau platform, it’s possible to deliver on these goals. Tableau eliminates data silos and static reporting, and expedites the insights and analyses public sector decision makers need to comply with regulatory requirements and reduce financial risk.
