March 2009 Status Report of the Auditor General of Canada, Chapter 2: Governor-in-Council Appointment Process http://www.oag-bvg.gc.ca/internet/English/parl_oag_200903_02_e_32289.html#hd3a The Canada School participated as a small entity in the government-wide Office of the Auditor General (OAG) Audit of the Governor in Council Appointment Process. The objective of the audit was to follow up on recommendations made by the Auditor General in 2000 and 2005 and to identify further opportunities to improve the appointment process. A key finding applicable to the Canada School noted that orientation and training for new appointees are functioning well, and that this is an improvement over previous audit findings. There were no recommendations made in the report necessitating a response from the Canada School; rather, the department was a third party reference in four paragraphs of the report. In particular, the report indicated that "orientation and training for appointees is functioning well... and the Canada School of Public Service has developed new training programs for Governor in Council appointees, which 57 percent of new appointees completed during 2007 and 2008..." |

External Audits Completed October 2008 Public Service Commission Audit Report: Government-wide Audit of Executive (EX) Appointments The Canada School was one of 53 federal organizations covered in the Public Service Commission (PSC) government-wide Audit of Executive Appointments. The objective of the audit was to determine whether appointments and appointment processes to and within the Executive Group during 2006 (calendar year) complied with the Public Service Employment Act; other governing authorities and policies; the instrument of delegation signed with the PSC; and the appointment values, which form the foundation of the policies and the delegation. Government-wide audit observations can be found at http://www.psc-cfp.gc.ca/adt-vrf/rprt/2008/ex/index-eng.htm#toc36. External Audits In Progress Office of the Auditor General (OAG): Audit on the Status of the Implementation of the Public Service Modernization Act: In the fall of 2008, the OAG initiated an audit on the status of implementation of the Public Service Modernization Act (PSMA) in the federal public service, for reporting in the Auditor General's May 2010 Annual Report. The draft audit report is expected in early December 2009. Office of the Comptroller General (OCG): Contracting Audit: In the summer of 2008, the OCG initiated a government-wide audit of contracting. The key objectives of the audit are to provide an opinion that management receives reliable and relevant information on contracting to support informed decision making, risk management and disclosure; and that effective governance structures are in place to review and act upon contracting trends and risks. The audit was completed during 2008-09 and the final report is expected to be ready in July 2009. |
