Upcoming internal audits and evaluations over the next three fiscal years
Internal Audits
A Service Level Agreement is in place between the Internal Audit Sector of the Office of the Comptroller General of Canada (OCG) and the federal regional development agencies (RDAs), including ACOA. This agreement became effective April 1, 2012. It details the provision of internal audit services by the OCG to the RDAs.
The updated three-year risk-based RDA audit plan was approved in October 2014. The OCG has identified a series of audit priorities for all RDAs for the 2014-15, 2015-16 and 2016-17 fiscal years.
As they become available, all completed audit reports are accessible through ACOA’s website.
