The following activities are included in the CNSC risk-based Audit Plan for the period 2011-12 to 2013-14. This plan is in the process of being reviewed and updated.
The updated plan will be submitted to the CNSC’s Audit Committee in May 2012 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 will outline the projects planned for the upcoming three years. 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 three members who are external to the government and two members 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.

The following evaluations are included in the Evaluation plan approved by the CNSC’s Management Committee in April 2011. This plan is in the process of being updated for 2012, but is not expected to incorporate significant changes.
As a small agency under the current Treasury Board policy, the CNSC is required to evaluate all transfer payment programs every five years, and to undertake other evaluations directed by the President or by Treasury Board. These evaluations are based on an assessment or management needs and other factors such as risk.
Evaluations are undertaken internally by staff of the Head of Evaluation (the Director-General of Strategic Planning), who reports directly to the President on matters pertaining to evaluation. The President is advised by members of the Evaluation Committee, who are members of the CNSC’s Management Committee.
