ABSTRACT
From 2001 to 2011, Auditor-General of Canada Ms. Sheila Fraser emphasized the “accountability” dimension of her role by ceaselessly reminding the federal Administration of its obligation to render accounts to Parliament. Through performance audits, the AG highlighted repeatedly the need for rules of sound management, transparency and accountability that the governments must obey in their management of public funds entrusted to them by the Canadian people. The content of the chapters produced during her ten-year mandate, in terms of both findings and subjects covered, illustrates an unshakeable will to fully assume her duties as Officer of Parliament.
