Table 3: Internal Audits and Evaluations


Internal Audits or Evaluations
No audits have been set as the Agency's board of directors could not begin functioning until the President took office in February 2007. In effect the Agency will begin operations in the 2007-08 fiscal year. The Agency is required to comply with the Treasury Board's Internal Audit Policy and related directives as applicable. The Agency is expected to report on the performance of all its initiatives on a regular basis through Main Estimates, using the Report on Plans and Priorities and the Agency's Performance Report. The preliminary Program Activity Architecture (PAA) has been developed for AHRC and will be used to build the Management Resources and Results Structure (MRRS) for the Agency, as a vehicle to report performance. As a new organization, AHRC is expected to initially focus on the start up of the Agency. Subsequently, performance indicators are anticipated to be developed in accordance with the coming into force of regulatory instruments under the AHR Act, to gauge and report on progress towards fulfilling the Agency's legislated mandate. The President of the Agency, as chief executive officer, is responsible for managing the Agency's day-to-day activities, including management of the financial resources allocated to the Agency, and supervising the direction of the Agency's work and staff. In carrying out these responsibilities, the President will take direction from the board of directors, which is the overall manager of the Agency, and is responsible for, among other things, approving the Agency's budget and operational policies. It is expected that the comprehensive parliamentary review of the provisions and operation of the Act, mandated under section 70 of the Act to take place three years after the establishment of the Agency, will in fact be the first opportunity to evaluate progress toward the achievement of desired results. Once the Agency has gained more experience with program delivery, it is anticipated that external resources would be engaged on a periodic basis to provide an independent review of the Agency's operations, addressing management issues relating to the operation of the Agency, risk management and performance data.
