Our Work
The Office of the Auditor General (OAG) is responsible for auditing public sector organizations to ensure accountability, transparency, and the effective use of public funds in government operations.
As the "Watchdog of Government spending" the OAG supports the Parliament in holding the Government to account for its spending and for providing value for money in public services. However we seek to balance this watchdog role by helping Government to improve by promoting good governance, transparency and accountability in the use of public funds through our work.
We carry out this role on a day to day basis by undertaking three strands of work:
- Financial statement audits of the Entire Public Sector (EPS) consolidated financial statements, and of each ministry, portfolio, statutory authority and government company.
- Performance and compliance audits that promote the efficient, effective and economic use of scarce public resources across ministries, portfolios, statutory authorities or government companies.
- Support and assistance to the Public Accounts Committee (PAC).
