Provincial Audit Provisions
The Auditor General shall audit provincial accounts. Provincial audit reports shall be presented to the Provincial Assembly through the Provincial Chief.
Who watches the provincial government\'s spending? The federal Auditor General. Provincial accounts are audited centrally (not by the province itself) and the audit report goes to the Provincial Assembly via the Governor. This external audit is crucial — it prevents provinces from marking their own homework. Assembly committees then scrutinize the findings.

Independent federal audit of provincial finances ensures accountability without provincial self-interest.
Auditor General\'s office is stretched thin — auditing 7 provinces plus the federal government with limited staff.
