There is no easy response to that question because there are a lot of factors during inspections and audits.
Our financial statements are audited by an independent auditor. Currently, the Privy Council office is responsible for the contract award process. We have an auditor, for a three-year period, who audits our financial statements.
Since we are an accounting firm, we train certified accountants, and inspections are carried out by provincial institutes. Inspections are conducted in each province where we have an office.
We also have an internal audit office within our office, which audits all our services and operations.
As I said in my opening remarks, we are going to start our peer review planning, which is done once with each auditor general’s term. We will start this process this year and it will be completed in 2029, which would leave me one year to make improvements, if applicable.
