Internal Audits

The following activities are included in the CNSC risk-based Audit Plan for the period 2008-09 to 2011-12. The plan, which will be reviewed and updated annually, is based on 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, scope and complexity, of projects, and the CNSC’s emerging issues and priorities.

The Commission is establishing an Audit Committee with members who are external to the government and internal to the Commission.  The Committee will be chaired by an external member and is expected to be functional in the fiscal year 2009-10.

Additional information on the CNSC Internal Audits and Evaluations is available on the CNSC Web site.
