What it does

The Comptroller General of Canada provides functional direction and assurance for financial management, internal audit, investment planning, procurement, project management, and the management of real property and materiel.

The program supports the Comptroller General of Canada by:

1. Developing policies and initiatives to strengthen financial management, oversight, and reporting within the Government of Canada;

2. Implementing policy instruments governing procurement, real property, materiel management, investment planning and project management to strengthen the management of assets and acquired services;

3. Modernizing the financial and materiel management (FM) business model to provide more timely access to reliable, consistent Government of Canada-wide information, and ensure that FM services enable the delivery of programs for Canadians and remain cost effective and sustainable;

4. Maintaining a modern internal audit policy suite and overseeing the independent internal audit function for the Government of Canada in order to inform the oversight of public resources and provide assurance as to whether activities are managed in a way that demonstrates responsible stewardship to Canadians; and

5. Supporting the Greening Government Strategy by administering the Greening Government Fund, providing support and guidance to departments to facilitate compliance with the Strategy, brokering targeted initiatives, and tracking and publicly disclosing the government’s environmental performance.
