The Office of the Auditor General of Canada, also known in French as Le Bureau du vérificateur général du Canada, is a federal government body that conducts independent audits and studies. Based in Ottawa, Ontario, with regional offices in Vancouver, Edmonton, Montréal, and Halifax, it employs roughly 790 professionals. Its work provides Parliament, territorial legislatures, crown corporation boards, the government, and Canadians with objective information, assurance, and advice. The organization relies on audit professionals who typically hold graduate degrees or bachelor’s degrees with professional designations, supported by specialists in law, information technology, knowledge management, human resources, financial management, communications, and parliamentary liaison. A notable development in 2023 was the introduction of an audit recommendations tool to accelerate the implementation of recommendations from prior audits.
