Office of the Auditor General of Canada 2022–23 Departmental Plan

Operating context

As the legislative auditor to the Government of Canada and the 3 territories, the Office of the Auditor General of Canada’s operational context is most affected by developments in the auditing and accounting professions, as well as by changes to government operations and expenditures.

The Office of the Auditor General of Canada has continued to carry out its work during the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic. The pandemic has directly affected how and where our employees work, while the government’s response to the pandemic has had direct consequences on the areas we selected for audit. We continue to work closely with the organizations we audit to adapt to the changing circumstances and to find workable solutions for completing our audit work.
