I believe that the current size of our office is just right. I would not like to see our office double its operations, and I say that for two reasons. First of all, we serve Parliament. Therefore, Parliament has to have the capacity to examine all of our reports. We produce 25 to 30 chapters a year, which is probably the limit. The true value of our work comes from the fact that we have parliamentary hearings.
Second, external auditors have a role to play, but internal auditors also play a very key role. I have often said that I would prefer seeing the government invest money in internal audit services, which help departmental managers to improve, rather than in external audit services.
I think that internal auditors have a greater role to play.
