Minister Anand tables the 2024 Public Accounts and the 2023-24 Departmental Results Reports
OTTAWA, ON, Dec. 17, 2024 /CNW/ - The Government of Canada is committed to providing parliamentarians and Canadians with information about how public funds are used to deliver the programs and services that Canadians rely on.
Today, Treasury Board President and Minister of Transport Anita Anand tabled the 2024 Public Accounts of Canada and the 2023-24 Departmental Results Reports in Parliament.
The Public Accounts of Canada is the annual report of the government's financials for the past fiscal year and outlines the Government of Canada's expenditures and revenues.
Every year the Auditor General issues an audit opinion on the government's financial statements. For the 26th consecutive year, the government has received a "clean" audit opinion. This demonstrates the high quality of Canada's financial reporting.
The Departmental Results Reports measure each government organization's progress toward objectives set out in their annual Departmental Plans.
The Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat specifically has made progress in several areas, including leading the first phase of the Refocusing Government Spending initiative, enhancing guidance around government procurement, and launching the Canada School of Public Service's executive leadership program for Black public servants.
The government will continue to seek opportunities to improve transparency and accountability through the information provided to Canadians and parliamentarians.
