Table 10: Response to Parliamentary Committees and External Audits


Response to Parliamentary Committees
N/A
Response to the Auditor General (including to the Commissioner of the Environment and Sustainable Development)
The OAG made recommendations emanating from their performance audit in 2004 of NRC Management of Leading Edge Research and its follow-up in 2007 pertaining to governance, human resource management, business planning, research project management and performance data collection and reporting. All of the recommendations have been fully implemented except for two areas; however, much progress has been made leading us to assess their implementation as "substantially completed" in accordance with OAG assessment guidelines. Those areas requiring further implementation pertain to the collection and reporting of performance data and research project documentation which are anticipated to be fully implemented by the end of 2009-10. Web links: 2004 report; 2007 report.

The OAG made only one recommendation emanating from its performance report in May 2009 of Intellectual Property; specifically that we identify more accurately the intellectual property expected to result from Crown procurement contracts and ensure it is accurately reported. A detailed management action plan has been put in place that is expected to fully address this recommendation by November 2009.
