The Auditor General of Canada (French: La vérificatrice générale du Canada[a]) is a Supreme audit institution which acts as an officer to the Parliament of Canada tasked with highlighting accountability and oversight by conducting independent financial audits of federal government's operations.[4] These performance audits, known as the Auditor-General's Report provide members of parliament with objective evidence to help them examine the government's activities and hold it to account and improve good governance among public officers included.
Karen Hogan was appointed Auditor General of Canada in June 2020.[5] She replaced interim Auditor General of Canada Sylvain Ricard.[6]
