Audit and Evaluation Directorate
Consistent with good management practices, the Audit and Evaluation Directorate carries out the
internal audit and evaluation function within Fisheries and Oceans
Canada (DFO) and reports its activities to the Departmental Audit
and Evaluation Committee (DAEC) 8-10 times per year.
This committee is co-chaired by the Deputy Minister and the
Associate DM and has all Assistant
Deputy Ministers and Regional Directors General as members. The
Committee considers
and approves an annual workplan; approves the terms of reference
for individual audits and/or evaluations; approves the reports and, management action
plans
that are necessary to address recommendations made in the
reports.
All evaluation, audit and risk work is performed
in accordance with Treasury Board policies and standards. Evaluations concentrate on program
relevance, success and cost-effectiveness
whereas internal audits focus on program management, efficiency
and compliance. |
