Work environment
We employ over 750 talented and dedicated employees working across Canada, including our primary Ottawa Office. We serve Canadians with the goal of strengthening their trust in public institutions and promoting continued excellence in our public service, one audit at a time. We are legislative auditors. This means that we are independent of government and work on behalf of Canada’s Parliament, the territorial legislative assemblies, and the boards of Crown corporations that we have a mandate to audit.
Through our audits, we provide objective, fact-based information and expert advice on government programs, spending, and operations. Parliamentarians and legislators use our findings to oversee government activities and hold public institutions accountable for their use of public funds. The OAG is a separate employer of the federal public service in accordance with Schedule V of the Financial Administration Act. The executive group at the OAG is not entitled to performance pay in addition to their rates of pay.
