Financial auditors

Financial auditors review the financial statements of government organizations to ensure accuracy and compliance with legislation. We follow the auditing procedures approved by the Chartered Professional Accountants of Canada. This includes comparing actual results to plans, evaluating financial controls, and checking samples of transactions.

Performance auditors

Auditing involves more than accountants. Performance auditors specialize in evaluating how government programs and services are working. They assess programs for economy, efficiency, and environmental impact. This includes providing independent and objective insight into how effectively and responsibly the federal and territorial governments manage resources.

Corporate services

Our services provide expert support for the OAG’s operations and audits in areas such as finance, procurement, human resources, communications, legal, and digital services—offering diverse and rewarding career opportunities.


Students and graduates

Many of our employees joined the OAG when they were students. We give talented students and graduates a real role in our organization.
