Pay and Benefits Audit
Executive Summary
Audit and Evaluation Branch
March 31, 2003
1. Introduction
In accordance with the Department’s Audit and Evaluation Plan for 2002–03, an audit of the following two Pay and Compensation units of Industry Canada was completed in October-November, 2002:
- Compensation, Training and Management Services unit in the National Capital Region (NCR); and
- Human Resources Branch of the Ontario Regional Office.
The Compensation, Training and Management Services unit of Industry Canada is responsible for administration of compensation for the NCR, while the Human Resources Branch of the Ontario Regional Office is responsible for administration of compensation for the Ontario region. Both units are responsible for ensuring individuals receive remuneration (including benefits) in accordance with appropriate collective agreements, regulations and Treasury Board requirements.
In addition, compensation advisors are commissioned to provide their clients (i.e. Industry Canada staff in their respective regions) with accurate and timely information concerning pay, benefits and entitlements. Finally, each unit has a responsibility to ensure those entitled to compensation from the “Pay Equity Settlement” receive or have received the correct payout. While the units are responsible for making all the calculations related to the payouts, Public Works and Government Services Canada (PWGSC) is responsible for issuing cheques based on those calculations.
This Internal Audit report includes an outline of the audit scope and objectives, a risk profile of each of these units including an overview of the role of management in managing risks, an analysis of the significant audit findings and suggested recommendations and our overall conclusions.
