2014-2015 Annual Report - Appendix 4
Audit engagement and work plan
The Public Service Commission (PSC)’s authority to conduct audits is defined in the Public Service Employment Act (PSEA). This authority includes all organizations that are subject to the PSC’s Appointment Delegation and Accountability Instrument with the PSC and therefore are covered under the PSEA.
This audit engagement and work plan reflects the continued evolution of the PSC’s approach to oversight as the staffing system and capacity within delegated organizations matures and the renewal of the PSC’s policy and the delegation frameworks. An updated plan will be published in 2016-2017.
All engagements and reporting periods are subject to change.
