Internal Audits

The PSC has an established internal audit function, working within an environment bounded by professional standards and TBS policies. The function also receives guidance and input from its independent Internal Audit Committee. The PSC posts all completed audits on its Web site at www.psc-cfp.gc.ca/abt-aps/inta-veri/index-eng.htm. The table below gives the status of audits planned for 2009-2010 and those not yet complete. It also shows the outlook for audits to be completed over the next three years. We reassess risks annually as part of our audit planning process. Consequently, the outlook may be revised to reflect changes to overall risks, controls and commitments over this time frame.

Evaluation

The PSC's Policy on Evaluation, 2009 was approved in June 2009 and reflects the priorities of the PSC and changes made to the TBS Policy on Evaluation, 2009 as it pertains to the PSC.
The rolling Risk-based PSC 5-Year Evaluation Plan 2009-2014 was recently updated to take into consideration emerging issues and priorities and to show progress towards increased evaluation coverage. The approved Plan is strategically integrated into the PSC's overall management activities and supports decision-making with the generation of strategically focused, objective and evidence-based information about the performance of the policies, programs and initiatives of the PSC as an organization. We assess risk regularly as part of our annual planning process.

The PSC posts all completed evaluations on its Web site at www.psc-cfp.gc.ca/index-eng.htm.
The table below shows the outlook for evaluations to be completed over the next three years.
