We want to hear from you
We produce reports that examine how well the Province of Manitoba accounts for the resources entrusted to it, and how well it manages its operations.
​
We encourage Manitobans to:
-
Report fraud, waste, and mismanagement.
-
Provide information related to audits currently in progress.
-
Share suggestions for new audits.
​
Contact us with your tips, information, and audit suggestions via email
(citizen.concerns@oag.mb.ca) or phone (204-945-3351).
​
We treat all inquiries confidentially. We will follow up with you within a few business days.

How the process works
Staff conduct preliminary assessments of all tips and suggestions to determine whether they fall within the Auditor General’s mandate. The Auditor General determines whether further action will be taken.
What we're looking for
We’re looking for tips related to fraud, waste, and mismanagement; information related to audits currently in progress; and suggestions for new audit topics.
Tips, information, and suggestions should relate to the operations of a provincial government organization, or the use of public money by a recipient of those funds.
What we can audit
We can conduct examinations and audits of organizations that receive significant public money. Examples of government organizations we can examine include:
​​
-
Provincial government departments.
-
Municipalities.
-
Colleges and universities.
-
Public school divisions.
-
Regional health authorities.
-
Crown Corporations including Manitoba Public Insurance and Manitoba Housing and Renewal Corporation.
-
Not-for-profits which receive provincial government funding.
​
If the information we receive is not within the Auditor General’s mandate, we will attempt to identify alternative organizations that may be interested in the information. Examples of organizations we have referred Manitobans to include:
​
-
Internal dispute resolution mechanisms such as the Appeals Commission for the Workers Compensation Board of Manitoba and The Automobile Injury Compensation Appeal Commission.
-
Canadian Revenue Agency tips line.
How we select projects
The Auditor General has sole discretion in identifying and selecting the project audits and investigations we undertake. The Auditor General considers several factors, including financial magnitude, impact of the subject matter on Manitobans, and public interest.
