The Office of the Auditor General of Canada (OAG) is required, under section 147 of the Financial Administration Act, to disclose its costs incurred in preparing annual audit and special examination reports on Crown corporations. The costs stated for joint audits include only the costs incurred by the OAG and not those incurred by joint auditors.

The Auditor General of Canada invited the Auditor-General of South Africa to lead an international peer review of the Office of the Auditor General of Canada (OAG), an assignment that was proudly accepted. This request builds on a commendable record in the OAG of requesting its peers to conduct external reviews of its practices on a periodic basis.

A team consisting of reviewers from the supreme audit institutions (SAIs) of New Zealand, Norway, South Africa, Sweden, and the United States of America was convened to conduct the peer review.

Our objective for this audit was to determine whether the systems and practices we selected for examination at the Canada Deposit Insurance Corporation were providing it with reasonable assurance that its assets were safeguarded and controlled, its resources were managed economically and efficiently, and its operations were carried out effectively, as required by section 138 of the Financial Administration Act.

The Office of the Auditor General of Canada’s (OAG’s) 2020–21 Departmental Plan describes the OAG’s mandate, priorities, plans, and expected results.
