Officials with the Alberta government say the Auditor General’s December 2023 Report highlights the importance of effective processes, controls, and reporting to ensure the success of government programs and services for the benefit of all Albertans.

Provincial officials say the report includes the results of the audit of the 2022-2023 Consolidated Financial Statements of the Province of Alberta, along with the results of three new performance audits, six assessment of implementation reports, and a Summary of the 2022 Financial Audit Results of School Jurisdictions in Alberta. Also included is a summary of recommendations that the Auditor General has made to government over the years, along with the potential consequences of not taking action, note provincial officials.

“I am pleased to report to Albertans that we have issued a clean audit opinion on the Province’s Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended March 31, 2023,” said Auditor General Doug Wylie. “Albertans can be confident that the financial statements of the province are free of material misstatements and are presented fairly in accordance with public sector accounting standards.”

“Our work provides Albertans with assurance that the government programs, processes, and services we audited are working as intended,” added Wylie. “The December 2023 Report includes seven new recommendations to government and highlights the implementation of 13 previous recommendations. Our findings and recommendations help improve performance and promote accountability within government.”
