Who
Does Our Office Audit?
Our
Office has a wide variety of auditees ranging from those with
micro based accounting systems to organizations using large complex
computerized accounting systems. Our auditees vary in size from
those taking only 40-50 hours to audit while others require 2000
hours.
Our Office is responsible for
auditing all public money managed by the Government of Saskatchewan.
This includes the Crown Investment Corporation of Saskatchewan as well
as Crown corporations, health boards, universities, government
departments, boards, agencies, and commissions. These entities
are involved in numerous activities that cover a wide variety
of industries including pensions, insurance, gaming, healthcare,
education, and finance.
For our parliamentary system
of government to work properly, the system must enjoy public confidence.
To merit this confidence, the Government must be open and accountable
to the public. Our work and reports directly affect public confidence
in the Government. Following our independent examinations, our
Office provides assurance and advice to the Legislative Assembly
and the Government on:
- the
reliability of the Government's public performance reports
- the
Government's compliance with legislative authorities
- the
adequacy of the Government's management of public resources
Not all of our audits are located
in Regina
. Therefore, travel outside of
Regina may be necessary
at certain times of the year. However, most of this travel is
to cities or towns within Saskatchewan
. Employees can expect to travel outside of
Regina an average
of 4 - 6 weeks spread out over a one year span. Also, employees
usually return home for weekends.
