Reporting

Reporting on the use of public funds to community members and to Canadians remains an essential element of the management control framework for transfer payments at Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development Canada (AANDC).

This activity is undertaken to gather information on whether funds provided are expended for the purposes intended, that terms and conditions of funding agreements are met, and that the recipient's financial situation is sufficiently stable in order to assure continued delivery of funded programs and/or services.

All governing bodies are ultimately accountable to their stakeholders. As such, AANDC must demonstrate to the Canadian public, through the Minister, Parliament and the Auditor General of Canada that all funds, including those transferred to First Nations and other recipients are spent in accordance with the terms of funding agreements.
