Consulting firms in France are already in the past
Budrigannews.com – According to a statement that Finance Minister Bruno Le Maire made on Sunday, the French government used consulting firms to a great extent in the past and is working to change that.
In recent months, the government of Emmanuel Macron has come under fire for being too reliant on consulting firms.
As part of a larger investigation into McKinsey Consulting and its connections to the president, financial prosecutors announced earlier this week that they were conducting an investigation into his election campaign.
We strayed too far.This government and previous governments relied too heavily on consulting firms for a long time.It floated.”The Prime Minister instructed all ministries to reduce their use of consultancy firms by 15%,” Le Maire stated to France 3 television.
He added that the Finance Ministry had, for instance, been able to reduce its use of consulting firms by 34% between the first half of 2021 and the first half of 2022.
Le Maire did not respond to reports that France’s national financial prosecutor’s office had expanded the scope of an ongoing investigation into alleged tax fraud committed by consulting firm McKinsey to include consulting firms’ roles in the elections of 2017 and 2022.
In his first public comments on the investigation, Macron said on Friday that judges checked the finances of his 2017 campaign and found nothing wrong.
A report by the French Senate in Walk 2022 had strikingly brought up that the public authority was “reliant” on counseling firms like McKinsey.
