 Audit and Oversight
The Government of Canada's new Policy on Internal Audit is a key component of the Government's management
agenda, which sets out a vision for a more integrated, networked public sector and focuses on enhanced efficiencies, cost savings and continuous improvement with a view to provide
better results to Canadians.
The new Policy on Internal Audit builds on the 2001 policy, as well as recommendations made by parliamentarians, the Auditor General and internal audit experts in the public and
private sectors. It provides a greater level of assurance to the Ministers, deputy ministers and deputy heads of departments and agencies and supports their efforts to provide
accountable, transparent and effective management. It also provides a clear, integrated assignment of responsibilities for internal audit activities between the heads of
departments and agencies and the Comptroller General of Canada.
The 2005 Policy on Internal Audit is designed to re-position internal audit as a critical underpinning for effective and credible governance at the departmental and government-wide
levels. It will improve the independence, objectivity and overall effectiveness of the internal audit function across government, as well as significantly increase the number of
professionally accredited internal auditors in the public sector.
