The Office of the Auditor General’s (OAG) is the "watchdog" of public spending in the Cayman Islands. It is lead by the Auditor General whose role and responsibilities are set out in the Cayman Islands Constitution and the Public Management and Finance Law. The OAG carries out its duties on behalf of the Legislative Assembly and ultimately the people of the Cayman Islands.

In addition, our work aims to help public service managers improve performance and service delivery.
