Evaluation Report from Table 15-B
|
In 2007, the Internal Audit, Evaluation and Review Directorate, at the request of the Senior Executive Committee (SEC), conducted an Evaluation of the Balanced Scorecard (BSC). The overwhelming consensus of the Senior Managers interviewed led to the primary recommendation “that the BSC be maintained as the RCMP’s strategic performance management tool.”
In total, the BSC Evaluation put forward nine recommendations, which were approved by the Audit and Evaluation Sub-Committee of SEC on February 11, 2008.
|
RCMP Commissioner Elliott endorsed the recommendation that the RCMP continue to use the BSC as its performance management tool at a meeting of the Senior Management Team (SMT) on February 20, 2008. In 2008-2009, the RCMP’s Strategic Policy and Planning Directorate (SPPD) will continue to work to address the remaining recommendations, all of which provide support to the continued use of the BSC. |
Balanced Score Card |
In 2007, the Internal Audit, Evaluation and Review Directorate, at the request of the Forensic Laboratory Services, provided guidance in conducting a review of the Forensic Science and Identifications Services. The review was in response to a recommendation contained in the May 7, 2007 Report by the Office of the Auditor General of Canada. The review found that the Laboratories provide excellent service to their clients in a cost-efficient manner and that Forensic Imaging Services be included in the long term vision for Forensic Identification Services Review, remaining under the umbrella of Forensic Identification Service, Forensic Science and Identifications Services. |
That a national study be undertaken on the use of Digital photography within the RCMP. The study will evaluate the risks to the organization resulting from

Background
The CAFC administers two Contributions Program Funds, the Firearms Funding Program (for Opt-in Provinces) and the Aboriginal and/or Other Communities and Organizations Program (not-for-profit). Terms and Conditions for both of these programs were renewed by TBS in April 2005 for a five year period.
As per the TBS Guidelines, CAFC is required to provide detailed information on transfer payments programs that exceed $5 million for the reporting year. Only the Firearms Funding Program (for Opt-in Provinces) meets this criterion.
Expected Results
The CAFC is committed to providing funding to provinces that choose to administer the Firearms Program on their own. CAFC has developed service delivery models with the provinces for delivery of the Program activities within their jurisdiction. Funding priorities and activities focus on the delivery and administration of the Firearms Act and the associated Canadian Firearms Program. The delivery of the Program includes, but is not limited to, the following activities:
