Table 7: Internal Audits and Evaluations
| Internal Audits or Evaluations |
| No audits have been set as the Agency has only had financial signing authority since February 14, 2007, a six week period. The Agency is required to comply with the Treasury Board's Internal Audit Policy and related directives as applicable. The Agency reports on the performance of all its initiatives on a regular basis through Main Estimates, using
the Report on Plans and Priorities and the Agency's Performance Report. The preliminary Program Activity Architecture (PAA) has been developed for AHRC and will be used to build the Management Resources and Results Structure (MRRS) for the Agency, as a vehicle to report performance. As a new organization, AHRC initially focussed on the effectiveness of the implementation of the Agency. Subsequently, performance indicators are anticipated to be developed in accordance with the coming into force of regulatory instruments under the AHR Act, to gauge and report on progress towards fulfilling the Agency's legislated and regulatory mandate. The President of the Agency, being the chief executive officer of the Agency, is responsible for the effective management, direction and control of the Agency, including an obligation to ensure that resources allocated for purposes of the Agency are managed well, are being used for priorities identified by Ministers and are achieving results for Canadians. It is expected that the comprehensive parliamentary review of the provisions and operation of the Act, mandated under section 70 of the Act to take place three years after the establishment of the Agency, will in fact be the first opportunity to evaluate progress toward the achievement of desired results. Once the Agency has gained more experience with program delivery, it is anticipated that external resources would be engaged on a periodic basis to provide an independent review of the Agency's operations, addressing management issues relating to the implementation of the Agency, risk management and performance data. |
