How to report instances of corruption to the auditor general's department 

The mission of the Auditor General is to promote public accountability by carrying out audits and reporting to Parliament on the discharge of accountability by the executive to enable Parliament to exercise control over public finances. The key functions of the Auditor General’s Department are to audit the accounts of all Government Departments, Provincial Councils, local Authorities and Public Corporations and of any Business or other undertakings vested in the Government under any written law. The Department reports to Parliament annually, and when necessary on the discharge and performance of the duties and functions for the accomplishment of the above mission.

If you encounter instances of corruption and you think that this instance comes under the purview of the Auditor General please contact the AGD and make an official complaint. You need not be a party to the activity: you can register an official complaint about any matter of bribery or corruption that you are aware of. If you are uncertain whether the matters falls within the jurisdiction of the AGD, the staff can advise you.
