Supplementary Information Tables
Green Procurement
Although the Office is not a materiel or asset intensive organization, when possible it procures supplies and equipment that are considered to be environmentally friendly. During 2011-12, the Office will enquire about green procurement strategies and training methods used by federal government departments and agencies, and will ensure that such practices are implemented where applicable.
Planned Audits and Evaluations
In 2011-12, the Office's financial statements will again be audited by the Office of the Auditor General and an annual assessment of internal controls will be conducted. In addition, the Office may also conduct audits as recommended by the Departmental Audit and Evaluation Committee.
In accordance with provisions of the PSDPA, Treasury Board Secretariat must have an independent review of the Act and its administration and operation conducted five years after it came into effect, which was April 1, 2007. The Office will also provide information and legislative recommendations to Treasury Board to support their review of the Act. A report on the results of the review must then be presented before each House of Parliament within 15 sitting days after the review is completed.
Other Items of Interest
Departmental Audit and Evaluation Committee
The Office has a Departmental Audit and Evaluation Committee composed of members external to federal government, one of which chairs the Committee. Ex-officio members include the Commissioner, the Chief Financial Officer and the Chief Audit Executive.
The Committee ensures that the Commissioner has independent and objective advice, guidance, and assurance on the adequacy of management and accountability processes. For this purpose, the Committee exercises active oversight over key areas of management control and accountability, including values and ethics, risk management, internal control, internal audit and evaluation, financial statements, public accounts, and other statutory reports such as the Annual Report, the Report on Plans and Priorities, and the Departmental Performance Report. The Committee meets at least four times per year.
Annual Audit of Financial Statements
Financial statements of the Office have been audited by the Office of the Auditor General on an annual basis since 2008-09. In keeping with the Policy on Internal Controls, all future audited financial statements will be prefaced by the new Statement of Management Responsibility Including Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.
Shared Service Arrangements
The Office has shared service agreements with the Canadian Human Rights Commission, and Public Works and Government Services Canada who provide administrative services to the Office on a contractual basis. These arrangements supplement internal resources of the Office and allow the pooling of expertise in specific management areas. Shared service arrangements contribute to lowering costs relating to internal services.
The Canadian Human Rights Commission provides services in the areas of financial management (namely transaction processing and reporting), security clearances and building security arrangements, procurement and contracting, telecommunications, information management, information technology and human resources information systems. Public Works and Government Services Canada provides services in the areas of human resources management, namely planning, staffing, classification, labour relations, policies and procedures, and human resources reporting requirements to central agencies.
