We are committed to transparency, accountability, and the responsible use of public resources through independent audits and expert advice.
The Office of the Auditor General of Canada (OAG) serves Canada’s Parliament and territorial legislative assemblies by providing objective, fact-based information and expert advice on government programs and activities, gathered through audits. Elected officials use OAG reports to oversee government activities and hold government organizations to account for their handling of public funds.
