AUDITOR GENERAL’S MESSAGE My office’s annual audit of government’s Summary Financial Statements is the largest financial audit in B.C. It encompasses central government plus nearly 150 other government organizations, including Crown corporations, universities, colleges, school districts, health authorities and similar entities that are controlled by or accountable to the provincial government. Annual revenue and expenditures each total about $52 billion. Assets and liabilities each total about $90 billion. Given the magnitude of this audit and our limited capacity, we work with private-sector auditors to complete the necessary work. This Financial Statement Audit Coverage Plan outlines how we determine Carol Bellringer, FCPA, FCA which government entities’ financial statements we will audit directly and Auditor General which will be audited by private-sector firms.
