The prime mandate of the Comptroller General is to make sure the people in the departments do things properly. In other words, because the government is so big and you've got 150 organizations consolidated in the public accounts, you want to make sure the chief financial officer and the audit executive in each one of those organizations are doing their jobs right and making sure the right safeguards are in place. So that's a huge part of the mandate.
Another part of the mandate is that at the end of the year we do the Public Accounts of Canada, which we of course bring to this committee. And that isn't accounting, but it does look backwards; it doesn't look forward.
