The government's management framework, Results for Canadians, commits
managers to sharpening their citizen focus, to applying sound public service
values, to managing for results and to spending in a responsible manner.
Accordingly, managers have a responsibility to monitor the performance of
policies, programs and initiatives and to make sound decisions and to report on
performance. Treasury Board policy is that departments are responsible for
establishing and supporting an internal audit capacity that is appropriate to
their needs and is capable of fulfilling these responsibilities in a timely and
professional manner.
Quality Assurance is a management tool that operates throughout the lifecycle
of a policy, program or initiative. It helps managers design and implement
reliable performance measurement systems. It also periodically assesses
effectiveness in achieving objectives, impacts, both intended and unintended,
continued relevance and alternative ways of achieving expected results.
The Quality Assurance Implementation Plan has been developed in order to
conduct branch efforts and activities in complete harmony with the objectives
defined in Civil Aviation's Flight 2005 and to provide quality management
direction and continuity to the national Civil Aviation program.
