The Comptrollership Modernization
Office supports the Deputy Controller General, Richard J. Neville, and the
Comptroller General, Jim Judd. It is a small unit, whose mandate is to:
- Transfer ownership of the Report of the
Independent Review Panel on Modernization of Comptrollership in the Government of Canada
from
the Panel to every part of the Public Service.
- Provide support for the modernization efforts of
organizations and individuals.
- Work with external parties - Parliament,
professions, media and other potential allies to create the understanding - to forge
the alliances... to bring in reinforcements to help modernization to succeed.
- Work with other central agencies - and other parts
of Treasury Board - to create meaningful incentives for excellence and remove unnecessary
barriers and burdens.
- Support 5 committees that will provide direction
and stamina to the modernization effort - the sustaining mechanisms:
A Modernization Task Force of deputy
ministers - to provide overall direction, to monitor progress and to report to ministers
A Standards Advisory Board - a high
level, mainly external, committee to advise the government on its choice of standards and
frameworks - the arbiters of excellence.
A Comptrollership Council of assistant
deputy ministers - to provide internal advice on standards and to promote sharing
of experience and development of needed tools.
The Small Agencies Modernization Council
- a representative group of senior decision-makers from small
agencies as well as a representative from the Comptrollership
Modernization Directorate of TBS - to provide advice and guidance on the
implementation of modernization activities in the small agency
community.
The Agency Heads Modernization Steering Committee - a
representative group of deputy heads of small agencies as well as the
Associate Deputy Comptroller General - to provide strategic advice on
the implementation of modern comptrollership in small agencies; champion
the initiative within the small agency community; and advise and make
recommendations to the Secretary of the Treasury Board on funding
proposals or other aspects of modern comptrollership affecting small
agencies.
- Movement on standards and frameworks--to
begin to make information truly useful and reduce the amount of time departments spend
"feeding the central machine", filling out templates and following
detailed rules.
Throughout this process, we are committed to:
- Communicating, and helping you communicate what
modern comptrollership means and how it benefits
- Building capacity and
proficiency--including the ability:
- to deliver modern comptrollership government-wide
and
- to provide top class advice and support to
departments.
