Table 12-A: Internal Audits
This was a year of significant change for the internal audit function. Changes in leadership, coupled with staff turnover in a highly competitive market, as well as the requirement of the Treasury Board Internal Audit Policy to create an independent Office of the Chief Audit Executive, resulted in many planned audits not coming to fruition. This table lists audits that were initiated in 2007-2008 and gives their current status.
