  1. Timeframes presented in the 2009-2010 Report on Plans and Priorities were proposed under the assumption that there would be a full internal audit team as of April 1, 2009 to undertake the identified audit activities.
  2. Infrastructure Canada’s Internal Audit directorate refreshed the department’s audit universe in January-March 2010 as part of its work to develop the department’s three year Risk-Based Audit Plan. The audit universe represents all aspects of the department as defined major auditable entities (MAEs) that may be subjected to audits and provides an analytical framework for risk assessment. Internal Audit worked with the Finance and Administrative Division to ensure the audit universe is comprehensive. It resulted in an updated universe based on (1) the budget structure of fund centers; (2) the Management Accountability Framework (MAF) elements and (3) the Program Activity Architecture (PAA) structure. The major auditable entities were chosen with the objective of ensuring that each one would be of manageable size, nature and scope, and if audited, it would produce significant and meaningful information for management. When selecting audit engagements for the April 2010 to March 2013 period, the objective was to ensure sufficient coverage of the high-risk and priority areas within the department, as well as contributing to the preparation of a comprehensive overall (holistic) opinion on risk-management, internal controls and governance processes. The timeframes proposed for the internal audits outlined in the 2010-2011 Risk-Based Audit Plan are based on the auditable entities’ priority ranking, and their estimated commencement will depend on the availability of resources within the internal audit function.

Minerals and Metals Sector (MMS) Science and Technology (S&T) Evaluation

A June 2009 evaluation examined the science and technology (S&T) programs of the Material Technology Laboratory (MTL) and the Mineral and Mining Science Laboratories (MMSL) within the Minerals and Metals Sector of NRCan.  The evaluation found that the S&T activities of the laboratories were aligned with federal and NRCan priorities.   The research projects undertaken by the laboratories produced sound scientific knowledge and innovative technologies, and contributed significantly to applied S&T in the sector.  Many of these projects generated good quality and high-impact peer-reviewed publications and conference presentations.  Moreover, the laboratories were successful in transferring their S&T knowledge, expert advice, and technologies to industry and other stakeholders.  The evaluation noted that the two laboratories face numerous challenges including: budgetary pressures; the need for capital investment; retirements and MTL’s relocation to Hamilton in 2010.

Built Environment Evaluation

A July 2009 evaluation of the Build Environment Sub-sub Activity found that its objectives and activities were in line with federal and NRCan priorities regarding the environment including the federal strategy to cut greenhouse gas emissions to address climate change.  The evaluation concluded that the federal government is a key contributor to innovation in the Built Environment area.  The Sub-sub Activity has led to the creation of research and development work which would not have occurred otherwise.  The evaluation also found that the Sub-sub Activity was delivered in a cost-effective manner.   However, it is difficult to determine the long-term impact of the Built Environment’s work. 

Earth Sciences Sector Economic Opportunities Evaluation

A July 2009 evaluation examined the Earth Sciences Sector’s Economic Opportunities Sub-Activity.  The objective of this Sub-activity was to create new economic opportunities through the provision of geoscience information for mineral and energy exploration.  The Sub-activity included five programs: Targeted Geoscience Initiative-3; Northern Resources Development; Secure Canadian Energy Supply Geoscience; for Ocean Management and Gas Hydrates Fuel for the Future?   The evaluation confirmed that the programs produced numerous new and innovative geoscience products, many of which would not have been produced in the absence of the Programs. Despite some delays and gaps, the programs address the ongoing needs of federal and provincial governments, the private sector, communities and NGOs for up-to-date geoscience information to help stimulate exploration of minerals and hydrocarbons, secure affordable energy and resolve conflicting uses of the natural environment.   There has been very close collaboration with partners and stakeholders in all of the programs.

Canada’s Submission to the Commission on the Limits of the Continental Shelf Under the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (The “Continental Shelf Program”)

The United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea provides that, where a State intends to make a submission to the United Nations Commission on the Limits of the Continental Shelf to delineate the outer edge of its continental shelf beyond 200 nautical miles, it must do so within 10 years of becoming a Party to the Convention.  Canada’s deadline for providing its submission is December, 2013.  Fisheries and Oceans (DFO) and Natural Resources Canada are responsible for collecting the data required to assess and substantiate the extent of Canada’s continental shelf.   This information will be used by the Department of Foreign Affairs and International Trade to develop Canada’s submission.  An interdepartmental evaluation on the Continental Shelf Program, led by DFO, was completed in December 2009.  The evaluation confirmed that the preparation phase of the Program has been completed and data collection is proceeding according to plan and within budget.  The evaluation noted that the Program is managing significant technical, financial and human resources risks.

The following are the main Internal Audit conclusions.

Implementation of Service Transformation: Staffing and Assessment Services had many challenges in transforming its business processes for its new cost recovery mandate. It was found that management had put in most elements of a sound structure to deliver services efficiently and effectively and to assess and manage its risks in this dynamic environment.

Cyclical Audit, Cycle 2: Revenue: Invoicing for Public Service Commission (PSC) services involves many stakeholders, especially with the move towards more services being cost recovered. The PSC had to develop new billing systems and change internal processes. Although basic financial management and reporting controls were found to be in place, more work was needed on the PSC’s fee structure and costing model, management reports and documentation of procedures.

Budgeting: This audit found that the PSC has established a budgeting process that enables both the timely development of annual budgets and the monitoring of budget performance. Expertise, systems and tools are in place. Some budget processes need improvement, such that funds can be reallocated more quickly. A stronger challenge role by the corporate management group is also needed.

The Internal Audit Directorate made some recommendations for improvement relating to the above projects, and management provided sound action plans to address them all.

Internal Evaluation 2009-2010


Name of Evaluation Program Activity Program Type Status Completion Date
Priority Administration   1.1.0 Summative Evaluation In progress December 2010
Assessment Policy – Requirements Specific to the EX Category 1.1.0 Summative Evaluation In progress September 2010
Communications and Parliamentary Affairs 2.1.0 Summative Evaluation In progress July 2010
PSC-led Pools 1.3.0 Formative Evaluation Completed May 2010
Post-Secondary Recruitment Program 1.3.0 Formative Evaluation Completed April 2010

The Executive Management Committee (EMC) of the PSC approved the evaluation report of the Post-Secondary Recruitment Program (PSR). One of the major conclusions is that the PSR is perceived to be supporting staffing in the public service by attracting candidates who are normatively representative of the Canadian population and providing them with an avenue of access to jobs in the federal public service. However, it continues to be under-utilized due to limited awareness and knowledge of the program and a perceived difference between the interests and preferences of hiring managers and the program design. Cost effectiveness could be improved through testing and assessment alterations.

The EMC also approved the evaluation report of the PSC-led Pools. One of the major conclusions is that PSC-led Pools are relevant and consistent with government and PSC policies and priorities. PSC-led Pools can work, under the right circumstances, when they are flexible and the needs of clients are appropriately identified and targeted. Consequently, the PSC should anticipate and map out client needs through ongoing communications and environmental scanning and factor in high-demand regions and high-volume job classifications. Another finding is that they do not have consistently clearly defined goals and objectives related to service delivery, business processes, needs assessment and client satisfaction. Therefore, the PSC should develop uniform service-delivery processes and standards to address service-related issues promptly and effectively. A more consistent, accountable and appropriate management structure is recommended to support ongoing stability and improvement. For this reason, the PSC should identify a lead and clarify roles and responsibilities related to PSC-led Pools. Overall, there is inherent risk in PSC-led Pools where there is no assurance that costs will be recovered. Costing strategies should be reviewed to help mitigate these risks.
