DFO Audit Reports prepared by Audit and Evaluation Directorate

At the end of each audit, a final report is presented to the Departmental Audit and Evaluation Committee for their consideration and approval along with a management action plan which outlines any corrective actions that must be undertaken to address the audit recommendations. The action plans become a component of the final report.

Because program evaluation, internal audit and review all have as their prime objective, the identification of opportunities for improving management practices and program effectiveness, individual reports will contain observations about those opportunities. Management's willingness to take action is demonstrated by the action plans associated with the reports and the public can therefore be assured that these opportunities are being exploited in a responsible manner in Fisheries and Oceans Canada.
