Understanding the roles of the Auditor General and PAC
The Auditor General works as a trusted advisor to the Standing Committee on Public Accounts (PAC) in its review of government spending. The committee, made up of MLAs from all political parties, uses our reports to examine how government has accounted for and used public funds, and how it is acting on our recommendations. The value of our work is fully realized when our recommendations are acted on. Visit our website to learn more about our recommendations to government and our work in progress.
Appointed under the Auditor General Act, the Auditor General is an Officer of the Legislative Assembly and is the auditor of the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Province of Alberta and most provincial agencies, boards, commissions, and regulated funds.
