Accelerating the preparation of the publics accounts

In March 2022, the Auditor General of Québec (AGQ) recommended that the Ministère des Finances reduce the time required to prepare the government’s consolidated financial statements. The Ministère has committed to issuing an action plan before March 31, 2023, with key milestones and actions to be taken.

This plan outlines the activities that will be implemented by the Comptroller of Finance (who is part of the Ministère) along with its partners and the AGQ, the latter acting as auditor. The goal is to have the government’s financial statements completed within four months of its fiscal year end, that is, by the end of July.

The solutions will be implemented over the course of a few years, but no later than 2026.
