Notes:

  1. Due to the significant changes within the CBSA over the past two fiscal years (e.g. the launch and implementation of the Change Agenda, which included: the reorganization of CBSA headquarters; revisions to the CBSA's Program Activity Architecture; and Strategic Review), the Executive Evaluation Committee decided to only approve a one-year Evaluation Plan. However, a five-year Plan is being developed in 2010–11, based on the CBSA's new 2011–12 Program Activity Architecture and the completed financial crosswalk.
  2. The CBSA's Risk-Based Multi-Year Evaluation Plan (2010–11) is available only for internal distribution.

Canadian Northern Economic Development Agency



Upcoming Internal Audits and Evaluations Over the Next Three Fiscal Years

CanNor manages its internal audit and evaluation functions in close collaboration with the Office of the Comptroller General (OCG) and Treasury Board Secretariat. OCG plays the primary role as CanNor’s auditor — as part of the arrangements for small departments and agencies under Treasury Board Secretariat’s Policy on Internal Audit.

In 2011–2012, the Agency participated extensively in a horizontal (OCG-led) audit of Grants and Contributions Management Control Framework in Small Departments and Agencies. In addition, the Agency has developed a comprehensive Performance Measurement Framework covering all of its program activities. Implementation of the supporting data gathering system will be a priority in 2011–2012.

Further, the Agency is developing a detailed corporate risk profile to help guide decisions on where audit projects may be undertaken by the Agency as a supplement to OCG audit activities. At present CanNor’s audit plans for the coming three fiscal years are to participate in OCG-led core control audits and in a planned OCG horizontal audit of human resources planning.

This RBAP is tentatively slated for completion in March 2011, covering fiscal years 2011-12 to 2014-15. Since the RBAP is still in its developmental stage, audit plans for 2012 and beyond will be updated in the 2012-13 Report on Plans and Priorities.
