Internal Audits and Evaluations

Internal Audits (current reporting period)

The following activities were included in the CNSC risk-based Audit Plan for the period 2009-10 to 2011-12. This plan was updated in 2010 and 2011.

The latest updated plan was submitted to the CNSC’s Audit Committee in May 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 outlines the projects planned for the upcoming three years 2011-12 to 2013-14. 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 recent years, the oversight function at CNSC has been primarily the responsibility of internal audit. The Government of Canada Policy on Evaluation (the Policy) approved April 2009 revitalized evaluation to provide another element to the oversight function by demonstrating to Canadian’s value-for-money of government spending.

The CNSC began strengthening the evaluation function in Fiscal Year 2009-2010 to ensure alignment with the Policy. In 2010-2011 DG of Strategic Planning Directorate was designated as Head of Evaluation, and the Evaluation division was created (Regulatory Research and Evaluation Division). The majority of effort was focused on drafting the evaluation policy as well as the Evaluation Committee Terms of Reference. Further, the evaluation universe was identified and the Evaluation Plan was developed and approved April 2011.

2011-2012 will continue to strengthen the function and increase evaluation capacity through staffing of a Senior Evaluation Officer and an Evaluation Officer positions reporting to the Director of Regulatory Research and Evaluation. There is a commitment to conduct 4 evaluation projects this fiscal, as well as further develop and refine the Evaluation Policy Suite.
