Upcoming Internal Audits and Evaluations Over the Next Three Fiscal Years - 2015-16 Report on Plans and Priorities - Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat

Upcoming Internal Audits and Evaluations Over the Next Three Fiscal Years

A. Internal audits

The Report on Plans and Priorities includes internal audits that are currently underway or planned for 2015­–16. Additions and adjustments to the internal audits listed below may occur in order to address emerging risks and priorities of the Secretariat.

Internal Audit Title Internal Audit Type Status Expected Completion Date
Audit of Information Technology Security (coordinated audit with Shared Services Canada) Information Technology In progress 2015–16
Audit of Contracting and Procurement Within the Secretariat Financial Management; Acquired Services Planned 2015–16

The requirement to remain responsive and flexible to the Secretariat's evolving needs limits the audit function's ability to forecast plans beyond the 2015–16 timeframe. As part of future risk-based audit planning exercises, projects for 2016–17 and 2017–18 will be determined based on risk assessments, departmental priorities and resource capacity closer to those fiscal years.

B. Evaluations

The following evaluations are planned over the next three fiscal years. Additions or adjustments will be made to address emerging priorities.
