Electronic link to internal audit plan (if publicly available): Not yet available

Notes/comments: The risk-based Audit Plan for 2012-15 described above is not yet final. Consultations continue with senior management to ensure that proposed audits address the department's highest risks and priorities. The Plan will be reviewed by the Departmental Audit Committee early in the new fiscal year, and recommended to deputies for approval and implementation. In the interim, the mission security audit and the strategic and operating review audit are approved and will proceed in the first quarter of 2012-13. Note, too, that the internal audit team has the capacity to conduct five internal audits each year, and that two audits are identified as "in reserve" should resources be available to conduct them.
