Internal Audits

The following activities are included in the CNSC risk-based Audit Plan for the period 2008-09 to 2011-12. The plan, which will be reviewed and updated annually, is based on 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, scope and complexity, of projects, and the CNSC’s emerging issues and priorities.

The Commission is establishing an Audit Committee with members who are external to the government and internal to the Commission.  The Committee will be chaired by an external member and is expected to be functional in the fiscal year 2009-10.

Additional information on the CNSC Internal Audits and Evaluations is available on the CNSC Web site.

Evaluations

The CNSC plans to develop a risk-based Evaluation Plan that outlines the activities that will be evaluated for the period 2009-10 to 2011-12. The plan will be based on current capacity of the CNSC’s evaluation function, risk assessments of proposed evaluation projects, and management responses and action plans for prior evaluations for follow up.  The plan will be reviewed and updated annually.  Projects undertaken will depend on factors such as resources available to the evaluation function, the scope and complexity of projects, and the CNSC’s emerging issues and priorities. The evaluation plan will be posted on the CNSC’s Web site upon approval by the CNSC’s Evaluation Committee.

* 2008-09 forecasted revenue figures have been revised based on the results of the CNSC’s second quarter review exercise. The difference between the 2008-09 respendable revenue figure and future years is due to the full implementation of the CNSC’s Revenue Spending Authority (RSA) as per section 29.1(1) of the Financial Administration Act. With full implementation of RSA in 2009-10, the CNSC will have the ability to re-spend revenues that were previously non-respendable.
