- Committee Meetings
We support the work of the Standing Committee on Public Accounts. Their next meeting is on Tuesday, October 28 at 9 a.m. with Indigenous Relations to discuss the ministry’s 2024–2025 annual report and the outstanding recommendation from our May 2022 Indigenous Economic Participation report.
We recommended that the department improve its performance reporting process for its programs to achieve increased Indigenous economic participation by:
- implementing performance measures and targets for all programs
- analyzing program performance, including the reporting it receives from funding recipients, to compare to user needs, planned results and program costs
- reporting its analysis of program results and achievement of the ministry desired outcome, including lessons learned
You can watch the meeting at Assembly Online.
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.
The Office of the Auditor General is independent (nonpartisan) of government and those it audits. Its work is mandated in legislation, and is not negotiated under contract, ensuring its independence of what it audits and how it reports the results of its work. This ensures the work is objective. The Office of the Auditor General is a credible and trusted source of information on government spending and activities.
