Office of the Auditor General of Canada2021–22 Departmental Plan

Operating context

We expect that in the 2021–22 fiscal year, our operating conditions will continue to be affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. At the outset of the pandemic, Parliament asked us to audit aspects of the government’s pandemic response, and this work is currently ongoing. In response to this request, and in recognition of the significant impact the pandemic is having on Canadians, we reviewed and adapted our audit plan for the upcoming years. We will continue to monitor the situation and adapt accordingly as events unfold.

With the additional funding for the Office of the Auditor General of CanadaOAG announced in the Fall Economic Statement 2020, we will continue to modernize our approaches, tools, and products, and we will hire the auditors and support staff needed to restore our performance audit practice.
