A. All upcoming Internal Audits over the next three fiscal years

The mission, vision and values described in the Internal Audit Charter of Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC), together with the Treasury Board internal audit policy and directives, provide the fundamental framework for the audit planning process at CIC.
