Summary: Follow-up Assessment of the “Travel Management Audit Framework”
Background
In 2002, the Audit and Ethics Group (AEG) of the Canadian Nuclear
Safety Commission (CNSC) conducted an assessment entitled “Travel Management Audit
Framework”. This assessment developed recommendations to better manage
CNSC travel activities. In 2005, the AEG initiated a “Follow-up Assessment” to
review the status of management responses to the recommendations of the
2002 Travel Management Audit Framework.
Conclusions
The
follow-up assessment determined that satisfactory progress was achieved
in the following areas:
- Automation of the travel approval and claims process.
- International Activities Framework.
- The implementation of an organization-wide management model to include
better planning and reporting processes.
Improvement was noted in the following areas:
- Mandatory information/training sessions.
- Learning and development travel planning.
No progress was achieved in reviewing the CNSC Travel Policy. In response
to these conclusions, CNSC management noted that the Travel Policy should
remain unchanged because current terms and conditions of employment remain
in effect pending the signing of a collective agreement. When arbitration
is completed, the review of the Travel Policy will be re-established. On
December 20, 2005, the Audit and Evaluation Committee accepted this Management
Response. The Committee directed the Vice-President, Corporate Services
Branch to report to the Committee in one year on continued implementation
of the recommendations of the Travel management Audit Framework.
