Office of the Auditor General of Canada2021–22 Departmental Results Report

Operating context

As the legislative audit office of the federal government and of the 3 northern 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 directed consequences on the areas we have 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.
