Three or four figures come to mind because we have several fields of activity. Each year, we do about 90 financial statement audits and about 14 performance audits. We used to do about 25 of those audits a year before. Also, I think Ms. Hogan mentioned earlier that we do three to five special examinations per year.
Therefore, with the exception of performance audits, the number of our other audits has actually remained quite stable for a fair number of years.
Five or six ad hoc financial audit mandates were added, including Trans Mountain, a health agency in one of the territories, and the Infrastructure Bank of Canada. These mandates were given to us with no additional funding, however, which contributed to the pressure we felt.
However, beyond the number of our mandates, the increase in expenses within an organization increases our workload. Although the number of organizations does not change, the increase in their expenses automatically affects our work.
