Financial audits [of the public accounts] of the federal government are similar to those done in the private sector, except that they have two additional components. First, they include an opinion on whether transactions examined by the auditors conform to laws and regulations. This tells Parliament whether the organization complied with authorities. Second, the Auditor General can report on any other matters she thinks should be brought to the attention of Parliament. 2, record 1, English, - public%20accounts%20audit

Les vérifications des états financiers [des comptes publics] du gouvernement fédéral sont semblables à celles qui sont faites dans le secteur privé, sauf qu'elles comprennent deux éléments de plus. Premièrement, elles présentent une opinion sur la mesure avec laquelle les opérations vérifiées sont conformes aux lois et aux règlements en vigueur. Le Parlement peut ainsi savoir si l'organisation a respecté les autorisations applicables. Deuxièmement, la vérificatrice générale peut faire rapport sur toute autre question qui, selon elle, devrait être portée à l'attention du Parlement 1, record 1, French, - audit%20des%20comptes%20publics
