Office of the Auditor General of Bermuda

Office of the Auditor General of Bermuda The vision of the Office of the Auditor General is to be an agent of change in enhancing public sector efficiency, transparency and accountability.

The mission of the Office of the Auditor General, derived from its legislative mandate, is to add credibility to the Government’s financial reporting and to promote improvement in the financial administration of all Government Ministries, Departments and all other entities for which the Government is accountable to Parliament. The Bermuda Constitution Order 1968 and the Audit Act 1990 provide the

legislative mandate for the Office of the Auditor General. Financial statement audits address the first part of our mission - to add credibility to the Government's financial reporting. That credibility is provided by audit reports attached to each set of financial statements tabled in the House of Assembly. The remainder of the Office's mandate - promoting improvements in financial administration - is addressed mainly by performance audits, the results of which are reported on periodically under section 13 of the Audit Act. However, financial statement audits can also generate recommendations to improve financial reporting and control. We value:
- Professionalism
- Credibility
- Integrity
- Independence
- One Office & Diversity

Reporting on the over $61 million paid out in unemployment benefits between April 2020 and April 2021, Auditor-General Heather Thomas stated “It is evident that the lack of review and validation of applications (and the accompanying documents) prior to processing and payment resulted in individuals who were ineligible being paid the unemployment benefit and the overpayment of some eligible persons.”

In today’s The Royal Gazette, Auditor-General Heather Thomas re-iterated the need for government accountability, with transparency being a “hallmark of good governance.” Exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic, the financial statement audits of government entities are projected to be more than 160 years in arrears as at March 31, 2022. Ms. Thomas said, “Sadly, the Government is continuing to fail in its accountability obligation.” Read more in today’s The Royal Gazette.

In March, four of our team members participated in a fun-filled after-hours evening of trivia hosted by Chartered Professional Accountants of Bermuda. We were happy to take home first prize, which includes a donation to a charity of our choice. As an office, we voted for the funds to be donated to P.A.L.S. Cancer Care in Bermuda. Thank you, CPA Bermuda, for a fun evening, and to P.A.L.S. for all of the valuable work your organisation does for Bermuda.

The Office of the Auditor General, today issued its first public interest report on the Government of Bermuda response to COVID-19. This is a factual summary of the Government’s activities and expenditure to October 2020. We undertook this work not only because of queries from the Public, but also because we recognise the importance of independent reporting to the Parliament and the Public.

We will continue to monitor and report on the Government’s COVID-19 response.
