Audit of the Enterprise Management System (EAMS) Project

In 2008-09, NSERC and SSHRC completed a merger of their internal audit units, creating the Corporate Internal Audit Division (CIAD).  In 2009, CIAD developed NSERC’s 2009-10 Risk-Based Audit Plan (RBAP).  In late 2010,  CIAD began developing NSERC’s multi-year RBAP based on information gleaned from the recently completed corporate risk profile.  The development of the Council’s RBAP is tentatively slated for completion in March 2011.
