Yes, I'll be pleased to explain our mandate briefly.
First, we are the auditors of the financial statements of the Government of Canada, but also a number of Crown corporations, including Telefilm. We do Telefilm's financial auditing every year. We also do what's called management audits. These are the two audits that we are discussing today. We select programs or horizontal issues in government, and we examine the management practices and systems to determine whether improvements can be made or whether programs are operating as they should.
We publish reports for parliamentarians, to provide them with objective information that they can use to make the government accountable for the use of public funds.
So our role is really to support parliamentarians in their accountability work.
