Canadian Northern Economic Development Agency



A. All Upcoming Internal Audits over the Next Three Fiscal Years


The creation of CanNor raises the requirement for a key part of the Agency's internal audit function to be undertaken jointly with the Office of the Comptroller General (OCG) as part of small departments and agencies arrangements under Treasury Board Secretariat's Policy on Internal Audit. Preliminary contacts have commenced with the OCG to expedite this process with a view to implementation in 2010–2011. In parallel, supplementary activities will develop a detailed corporate risk profile for the Agency for assessing where supplementary audit projects should be undertaken by the Agency in-house, outside OCG sector-wide audit activities.

The OCG has yet to finalize its sector-wide audit plans for the next three fiscal years — an essential base for developing the Agency's audit plans. The OCG has indicated that the work in this area will be completed by March 2010, which is when the Agency's corporate risk profile is also scheduled for completion. Once both information sources are in place, the Agency can finalize its detailed internal audit plan for the next three fiscal years.

Internal Audits

The following activities are included in the CNSC risk-based Audit Plan for the period 2009-10 to 2011-12. This plan is in the process of being reviewed and updated.

The updated plan will be submitted to the CNSC's Audit Committee in April 2010 for review and recommendation for approval by the CNSC's President. It is based on the current capacity of the CNSC's audit function, risk assessments of proposed audit projects, and management responses and action plans for prior audits for follow-up. The revised plan will outline the projects planned for the upcoming three years. Projects undertaken depend on factors such as resources available to the audit function, the scope and complexity, of projects, and the CNSC's emerging issues and priorities.

The Commission has an Audit Committee with members who are external to the government and internal to the Commission. The Committee is chaired by an external member.

Additional information on the CNSC Internal Audits is available on the CNSC Web site.

Follow-up on past audits, including Procurement Audit Follow-up Planned 2010-11

Evaluations

In past years, the CNSC oversight focus has been on the internal audit function; however, we are now positioned to undertake the same improvement to the evaluation function. The CNSC began strengthening its evaluation function in Fiscal Year 2009-10, to ensure that it aligns with the new Treasury Board Secretariat Policy on Evaluation, effective April 1, 2009.

Building on work undertaken in 2009-10 (e.g., development of a policy, terms of reference for the evaluation advisory committee, development of the evaluation universe, etc.), the CNSC will continue with the next phase of implementation. This includes staffing, as well as assessing programs to determine the needs and priorities for the development of a three-year evaluation plan.

Additional information on CNSC Evaluations is available on the CNSC Web site.

Internal Audits

The PSC has an established internal audit function, working within an environment bounded by professional standards and TBS policies. The function also receives guidance and input from its independent Internal Audit Committee. The PSC posts all completed audits on its Web site at www.psc-cfp.gc.ca/abt-aps/inta-veri/index-eng.htm. The table below gives the status of audits planned for 2009-2010 and those not yet complete. It also shows the outlook for audits to be completed over the next three years. We reassess risks annually as part of our audit planning process. Consequently, the outlook may be revised to reflect changes to overall risks, controls and commitments over this time frame.

Evaluation

The PSC's Policy on Evaluation, 2009 was approved in June 2009 and reflects the priorities of the PSC and changes made to the TBS Policy on Evaluation, 2009 as it pertains to the PSC.
The rolling Risk-based PSC 5-Year Evaluation Plan 2009-2014 was recently updated to take into consideration emerging issues and priorities and to show progress towards increased evaluation coverage. The approved Plan is strategically integrated into the PSC's overall management activities and supports decision-making with the generation of strategically focused, objective and evidence-based information about the performance of the policies, programs and initiatives of the PSC as an organization. We assess risk regularly as part of our annual planning process.

The PSC posts all completed evaluations on its Web site at www.psc-cfp.gc.ca/index-eng.htm.

Biennial program reports update the quadrennial program reviews at midcycle. The following table provides a list of the program evaluations over the next three fiscal years.
