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.

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.
