Table 6: Internal Audits
The Office of the Chief Audit Executive has recently revised its audit universe; this audit universe will form the foundation for a new multi-year, risk-based audit plan. The plan will be presented to the Departmental Audit Committee at the April 2009 meeting.
Through the risk-based planning process, audits will be identified and planned to reflect the highest priorities from a departmental perspective. The ranking will be based upon information gathered through documentation review, consideration of past audit and other assurance functions' results, and consultation with senior management. Throughout this process, there will be close collaboration with the Office of the Inspector General, the Office of the Comptroller General and external audit groups to ensure alignment of plans.
Since the internal audit plan for 2009-10 is not ready yet, we have provided a status update of the 2008-09 audits in the table below:
