Internal Audits
The following activities are included in the CNSC risk-based Audit Plan for the period 2010-11 to 2012-13. 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 2011 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 Internal Audits with three members who are external to the government and two members internal to the Commission. The Committee is chaired by an external member.
