Internal Audits and Evaluations

Upcoming Internal Audits

All upcoming Internal Audits over the next three fiscal years

Audit and Advisory Services has developed an audit plan for 2009-2010 to 2011-2012, which was approved by the Departmental Audit Committee (DAC) in June 2009. The audit plan is reviewed yearly, which may result in revisions, updates or changes as required or requested by the DAC. Potential internal audits are identified based on a detailed assessment of risks and controls and take into account external audits conducted by the Office of the Auditor General, the Office of the Comptroller General, the Public Service Commission, etc. Internal audits examine issues related to governance, risk management and controls in support of the department's strategic objectives, programs, activities and management processes. As per government policy, audit reports are posted on Transport Canada's web-site, subject to the provisions of the Access to Information Act and the Privacy Act.
