PCH is conducting a recipient audit to ensure Hockey Canada is in compliance with existing contribution agreements with the Department for the period of April 1, 2018 to March 31, 2023.
Samson & Associés have been retained to perform the audit. The auditors are reviewing documentation in order to plan the audit.
A site visit to Hockey Canada is scheduled for June 27 to July 7, 2022. While on site, the auditors will be conducting a financial review of the expenditures reported to PCH to ensure their eligibility as well as the governance structure of Hockey Canada, their internal controls and policies to manage the funds received from the Department.
The auditors will also ensure there are policies and processes in place to manage Harassment and Abuse, Dispute Resolution and Anti-Doping requirements as well as other policy requirements as stated in the contribution agreements.
Following the site visit, the auditors will finalize their review and prepare preliminary findings for validation by end of July 2022.
A draft report is planned for the end of August 2022, and will be shared with Hockey Canada for validation and response to recommendations.
