* Types of auditing:

• Performance auditing reviews the activities of an organization to assess whether resources are being managed with due regard for economy, efficiency and effectiveness and whether accountability requirements are being met reasonably.
• Continuous auditing and monitoring examines whether an organization complies with Government Policies, has the necessary controls in place and provides reliable and relevant information for accountability purposes.

* In the Government of Canada, evaluation is the systematic collection and analysis of evidence on the outcomes of policies and programs to make judgements about their relevance, performance and alternative ways to deliver programs or to achieve the same results.
** Completed:  Evaluation report has been drafted and is awaiting Approval.
***Approved:  The final evaluation report has been approved by the Chief Public Health Officer.

Evaluations are typically categorized as formative or summative:

• Formative evaluations provide information mid-way through a policy or program by examining its delivery, the quality of its implementation and the assessment of the organizational context, personnel procedures and inputs; and 
• Summative evaluations determine the overall impact a policy or program has had by examining its achievement of outcomes.  The three primary concerns of a summative evaluation are relevance, success and cost-effectiveness.
