Measuring Accountability: CAAF’s 2018 Survey of Public Accounts Committees in Canada

Measuring Accountability: CAAF’s 2018 Survey of Public Accounts Committees in CanadaWe are pleased to release this report, which outlines the results of our 2018 survey of public accounts committees in Canada.

The survey was carried out in two parts: a survey of PAC clerks on practices and a survey of PAC members to understand their views on their own committees’ effectiveness. We sent the survey to the PACs of the 10 provinces, three territories, and the federal Parliament.

This report presents the data from those surveys based on the 15 good practices identified in Accountability in Action: Good Practices for Effective Public Accounts Committees and provides insights on how PACs can move forward to improve their effectiveness. Taken together, the information this report can serve as an invaluable resource for PACs to assess their practices with an understanding of the state of practice across Canada.
