Report on Plans and Priorities 2015-16 - Upcoming internal audits and evaluations over the next three fiscal years
A. Internal audits over the next three fiscal years
The PSC has an established internal audit function that works within an environment bounded by professional standards and TB policies. This function also receives guidance and input from its independent Internal Audit Committee. The PSC posts all completed audits on its Web site.
The table below gives the status of audits planned for 2015-16, as well as those not yet completed. It also shows the outlook for audits to be undertaken over the following two years. We reassess risks annually as part of our audit planning process. Consequently, the outlook may be revised to reflect changes to overall risks, controls and commitments over this time frame.
