Cost Recovery

U.S. Federal Government

Federal agencies are seeking new ways to serve their mission and their constituents despite reduced funding and growing uncertainty over the coming fiscal years. Cost pressures will be the “new normal” for the foreseeable future. Deloitte is helping agencies take preemptive steps now to recover costs and lower their cost-basis in a sustained way. With our deep public sector experience and broad private sector insights, we’re helping agencies recover costs across a wider range of areas—from improper payments, energy, real estate, and tax, to technology, procurement, and program mission review. Together, we’re helping agencies seize the opportunity to lay a foundation for renewed fiscal sustainability and return dollars to frontline mission needs.
