Financial Accountability Office of Ontario

The Financial Accountability Office (FAO) of Ontario is an independent agency that provides impartial analysis of the province’s government finances. It helps ensure transparency by offering reports on the government's budget, spending, and economic outlooks. The FAO’s objective is to give policymakers, stakeholders, and the public clear, reliable information about Ontario’s fiscal health, enabling more informed decisions and accountability for how public money is managed. It acts as a watchdog to promote responsible financial planning and prevent overspending or mismanagement.
