Upcoming Internal Audits and Evaluations over the next three fiscal years

All upcoming Internal Audits over the next three fiscal years

In accordance with Treasury Board Policy on Internal Audit, the Chief Audit Executive performs an annual risk assessment of the CIHR audit universe in order to produce the CIHR Risk-Based Audit Plan. Historically, this plan was based on a five-year period, with the most recent period ending March 31, 2012.  Consistent with policy, at the end of the five year period, the CAE must reconsider the audit universe (which may include adding, deleting or clustering of units) and perform a renewed risk assessment.

The Risk Based Audit Plan for the period from 2012-13 to 2014-15 was approved at the March 21, 2012 meeting of the Audit Committee.
