3.1 Potential Projects to be Assessed

We identified the following projects for audit and evaluation that will be assessed using a template described in the following section:

a) Audit (Assurance and Consulting Services)

Assurance Services

• Financial Audit
  
• Management Audit Legal Services
  
• Management Audit of Operations Sector (including Investigations Branch and Regional Offices)
  
• Management Audit Policy and Employment Equity Branch
  
• Procurement and Contracting

• Information Management
  
• Human Resources Classification Framework & other related issues
  
• Inventory of CHRC’s Policies, Procedures, and Systems

The mandate and scope of the ITI Project are currently under review, therefore we are recommending that no audit "consulting services" work relating to this project be undertaken until the mandate and scope are finalized.

b) Evaluation

• RMAF for the Commission
  
• Human Rights Complaint Process Evaluation Framework including RMAF
  
• Human Rights Complaint Process Evaluation Study
  
• Human Rights Complaint Process Client Survey
  
• ADRS Program Evaluation Framework

• Discrimination Prevention Program Evaluation Framework
  
• Discrimination Prevention Program Evaluation Study

c) Risk Management

• Risk Management Policy
  
• Risk Management Framework
  
• Risk Management Workshops

The assessments of risks and other components will determine the priority of inclusion of each project to be included in the Audit and Evaluation Plan for 2004-2005.

For each potential project an assessment will be undertaken for the 7 assessment criteria on sources of risk (i.e. Current Plan, Government Priorities and Initiatives, Interest to the Commission, Cost, Reach, Results, and Need). The comments within each assessment criterion will be consolidated for the 5 source of risk (Strategic Perspective, Business Line Perspective, Corporate Management Perspective, Compliance Perspective, and Government Agenda Perspective). For each assessment criteria the impact and likelihood of occurring are given a single rating criterion (low, medium, high).
