Accountability Reports

The Office of the Auditor General of Canada seeks to adhere to the highest standards, and is committed to continuous improvement in all areas of its operations. The Office ensures the quality of its audit work in a variety of ways. It also produces and requests a variety of accountability reports to gauge the success of these efforts. 

Quality Assurance Reviews: We seek independent assurance that our work is of high quality. Every audit is subject to a concurrent review done by a quality reviewer selected from among the Office’s senior auditors. We subject all of our audit products to regular practice reviews, and conduct internal audits that focus on the Office’s management and administration. These are carried out in accordance with the annual Practice Review and Internal Audit Plan. We also periodically request reviews from external organizations.

Planning and Performance Reports: We produce various reports that set forth our plans and priorities, review our performance, and demonstrate our commitment to employment equity. We also prepare a sustainable development strategy every three years.

Client Surveys: We conduct periodic surveys of Parliamentarians and other users of our reports to help us ensure that we are meeting their needs.

Employee Surveys: We survey our employees every two years in order to evaluate our performance in achieving our objective of providing a work environment where employees are satisfied and engaged.
