Internal Audits and Evaluations
Internal Audits
The mission, vision and values described in CIC’s Internal Audit Charter, together with the Treasury Board’s Policy on Internal Audit and directive, provide the fundamental framework for the audit planning process at CIC. CIC’s audit strategy is outlined in its risk-based audit plan, which forms the basis for audit activities within the Department.
In accordance with the Policy on Internal Audit, the Department carries out audits based on plans recommended for approval by the Departmental Audit Committee.
