Office of the Auditor General of Alberta
Who We Are We are an office of 150 people mandated by the Auditor General Act to examine and report publicly on the government of Alberta’s management of the public resources entrusted to it. The auditor general is the auditor of every ministry, department, regulated fund and most provincial agencies—150 entities for 2017. We audit the financial statements and selected management control systems and processes. Occasionally, at the request of an organization we audit, we may also research or advise on a proposed course of action. What We Do We do audits so we can report on how well government is managing its responsibilities and the province’s resources. Where necessary, we make recommendations for improvement. Our financial statement audits provide independent opinions on whether each organization’s financial statements are presented fairly and are free of material errors, misstatements or omissions. Each June we issue an auditor’s report on the province’s consolidated financial statements, encompassing all 150 government entities. Our performance audits assess the quality of the systems designed to deliver efficient and cost effective provincial programs and services. Our role includes providing an objective and independent view on whether government is reporting on the results achieved using Alberta’s resources. We look at the work of government through the lens of Albertans, and apply our professional expertise to provide conclusions on whether systems are working well and achieving the desired results. Where we find systems and processes are not working as well as they could, we provide recommendations for improvement. These improvements aim to help the government succeed in delivering what it has set out to do for the people of Alberta. Who We Serve We report directly to the 87 Members of Alberta’s Legislative Assembly, and through them we serve the 4.3 million people who call Alberta home. Follow us on Twitter: @AuditorGenAB
