Our work improves performance and promotes accountability within government.
About us
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 the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Province of Alberta and most provincial agencies, boards, commissions and regulated funds. 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 4.6 million people who call Alberta home. Follow us on Twitter: @AuditorGenAB

CAAF, the Office of the Auditor General of Alberta, and the Office of the Auditor General - SAI Rwanda are collaborating to conduct an organizational assessment of the OAG of Rwanda. Last month, the team worked together on-site in Rwanda to review audit files and other organizational documents and conduct interviews with OAG staff. This assessment is being done using the Supreme Audit Institution Performance Measurement Framework (SAI PMF). This is an INTOSAI tool that can be used to conduct a holistic and evidence-based assessment of a SAI against international standards and good practices. Last year, the assessment leaders participated in a course in Ottawa on using the SAI PMF, organized by CAAF and led by instructors from the INTOSAI DEVELOPMENT INITIATIVE (IDI). The findings of the assessment will enable the OAG of Rwanda to demonstrate its good practices, identify opportunities to improve its audit practice and internal functions, and contribute to strengthening accountability. The SAI PMF can serve as a baseline against which the OAG can benchmark its progress and adherence to international standards. This process can also support and inform strategic planning. Thank you to the assessment team for their hard work and dedication, and to OAG Rwanda for its commitment to continuous improvement for the benefit of Rwanda's citizens.
