What We Don’t Do
The Office of the Auditor General of Canada (OAG) is unable to respond to inquiries which do not relate to its mandate and role.
We do not provide services directly to the public, nor do we request any form of payment. Only our official website and social media channels contain information endorsed by the OAG.
We respond to questions about our mandate, the audits we conduct, and our activities.
We do not respond to inquiries related to these topics. For example, the OAG does not:
- intervene in disputes between private citizens, between private citizens and government departments, or between private citizens and businesses or banks;
- review legal decisions, provide legal opinions, or audit matters that are before the courts;
- audit areas under the exclusive jurisdiction of Indigenous, provincial, or municipal governments;
- audit policy decisions, which are the prerogative of Parliament and elected officials;
- examine judges, lawyers, or laws;
- audit bands, or band councils, or determine or adjust Indigenous contribution amounts; or
- provide forms, reports or other publications, or other information about federal entities other than what is contained in OAG audit reports.
