Introduction

Each year the Audit and Evaluation Branch (AEB) of Environment Canada (EC) conducts a broad planning exercise to ensure the Branch's resources will be used efficiently and effectively, and provide the most value to EC senior management and the Deputy Ministers (DMs).

This Integrated Risk-Based Audit and Evaluation Plan (RBAEP) combines both the audit plan for the next three years (2015-16 to 2017-18) and the evaluation plan for the next five years (2015-16 to 2019-20), and outlines AEB’s key strategic priorities. The essential objective of the RBAEP is to ensure Branch efforts and resources are allocated to areas of most significant risk and priority for the Department, and to meet the requirements of Treasury Board (TB) Policies on Internal Audit and Evaluation.

The Department's External Audit Advisory Committee (EAAC) reviewed the audit plan and recommended it to the Deputy Minister for approval. The evaluation plan was also presented to the Departmental Evaluation Committee (DEC) for review and comments. This RBAEP was approved by the Deputy Minister in August, 2015.
