Be part of a high-performing and rewarding organization that’s making a difference for people in B.C.

The Office of the Auditor General of B.C. (OAG) is an independent office of the legislature. Our team contributes to an effective and accountable provincial public service.

We dig deep into public sector financial statements through our audits, and we conduct performance audits of government programs and services. We report our work directly to the Legislative Assembly and to the people of B.C.

Recognizing our people have different personal needs, we support flexibility in how and where we work. We encourage a healthy work-life balance as you pursue top-notch work.

We are inclusive and respectful, promote strong, team-centred values, and provide great opportunities for career growth. We believe in supporting each other to learn and develop, offering professional development, education opportunities, and reimbursement for required professional dues.

Our co-op compensation package includes:

• 6% in lieu of vacation pay;
• Health and welfare allowance;
• Confidential employee and family assistance support.

Located in the heart of downtown Victoria, our office has modern collaboration spaces and great amenities. It includes a gym, private locker rooms and showers, indoor bike storage, complimentary hot drinks, an outdoor patio, and sunroom with views of Victoria’s beautiful Inner Harbour.

The OAG is a great place to work. We regularly celebrate our achievements together, with engaging and exciting events. If you want to make a difference for people in B.C., you’ll fit right in here.

Audit results provide the public and members of the Legislative Assembly with assurance that the Government’s Financial Statements are presented fairly and in accordance with Canadian Public Sector Accounting Standards. Work may also involve coordination with other groups within the office.

Co-op students work in a team, receiving assignments from Engagement Managers and usually working under the supervision of a Senior Auditor. With support, they may interact with staff, primarily in financial management and potentially with program managers, of ministries, Crown corporations, universities, colleges, school districts, and health authorities.

Co-op students may be exposed to different steps of the financial statement audit process (planning, conducting, reporting) in accordance with OAG and professional standards. They may have exposure to various business processes, identify relevant controls or weaknesses, carry out analytical procedures, perform substantive sampling, and other audit tasks. They will work on at least two different audits and possibly other projects depending on scheduling needs.
