An Auditor General for the past 10 years , he has enjoyed honour and respect throughout the federal government government - though generally it was conveyed at arm's length. Politicians and bureaucrats bureaucrats feared his presence, presence, were terrified of his reports, reports, yet ecstatic when receiving his praise. All that was part of his job as the public's watchdog on government spending. It takes a very special sort of person to be Auditor General. General. As a member of the House of Commons Public Accounts Committee, I worked closely with Ken Dye for the past two years, and can assure you that he does have the necessary qualities. His honesty and outspokenness outspokenness can be trying. Yet no one can fault his dedication to prudence, to thrift, and to seeing that Canadians get the best possible value for every tax dollar spent. In just a few months his term as Auditor General will end, and last week his final annual report was presented to Parliament. It's perhaps appropriate that these reports reports usually appear around Hallowe'en, because they always always contain some prize horror stories. This year's report provided provided the usual wide-ranging and probing examination of government finances and operations. operations. Once again it uncovered uncovered isolated incidents of waste and mismanagement. Yet, it's also apparent that the Auditor General's reports reports in recent years have become less critical of overall overall government operations. That's because the federal government has been listening listening to him and acting on his advice, while taking some initiatives of its own to put the federal house in order. Understandably, reports in the news media and questions questions in the House of Commons Commons focused on the Report's Report's negative comments, as they rightly should. While no one enjoys criticism, it's an effective way to keep governments governments on their toes, and that's what the Auditor General General is there for. However, it's worth noting noting here that the Auditor General also has some very positive things to say about how government management management nas improved. There were at least 12 specific reference reference to the impact of government-imposed government-imposed spending restraints which, Mr. Dye stated, "highlighted the need for maximum efficiency in the use of government resources." resources." For the first time, his report report gave an opinion without reservations on government financial statements, due to improvements made in accounting accounting procedures. He noted noted that better banking arrangements arrangements and more efficient efficient cash management have saved taxpayers approximately approximately $940 million since 1965. He pointed to other improvements, such as those made on the sugges tions of workers at Employment Employment and Immigration which are saving $6 million yearly. There was commendation for the better co-ordination among federal agencies -- making sure the right hand knows what the left is doing, thus reducing such possibilities possibilities as double funding. The report mentions several several specific instances where the government followed up on previous recommendations recommendations of the Auditor General, praising steps taken at Revenue Revenue Canada - Taxation to improve management and control of collection opera tions. All in all, as Auditor General's General's Reports go, this was by no means a bad one. This raised some suggestions that Ken Dye was mellowing, mellowing, though, from my own knowlege of him, I find tht difficult to believe. In years to come, Mr. Dye's successor will unveil yet more horror stories that are guaranteed to make governments governments cringe and taxpayers taxpayers scream. So, it may well be that the Office of the Auditor Auditor General is one segment of the federal public service to be clearly worth whatever it costs us.
