Internal Audits and Evaluations

Upcoming Internal Audits and Evaluations over the next three fiscal years

A. All upcoming Internal Audits over the next three fiscal years

This table has been developed based on the approved RCMP Internal Audit Risk-Based Audit Plan (RBAP) for 2012-15. For planning purposes, the Audit Universe has been grouped into four broad Audit Universe Areas: Operations and Direct Operational Support; Governance & Strategy; Internal Services; and Human Resources. The 2012-15 RBAP includes Summative Reports which will consolidate the results of all work completed in each of these four areas.

The RBAP will be refreshed during the fourth quarter of 2012-13 to cover the period 2013 16. The planned projects may change due to emerging priorities and risks identified in the refresh process.

Footnote 1 It is expected that the In Reserve projects will be completed over the three-year period of the 2012-15 Risk Based Audit Plan. The appropriate launch date has not yet been determined and is contingent on a variety of factors such as the passing of legislation, Treasury Board direction and the availability of specialized audit resources.

B. All upcoming Evaluations over the next three fiscal years

This table has been developed based on the RCMP Departmental Evaluation Plan 2012-13 to 2017-18. The Departmental Evaluation Plan will be refreshed and presented to the Departmental Evaluation Committee annually to ensure that the proposed activities have been properly scoped, that legislative requirements are met, that the plan is reflective of the RCMP’s needs, and that it is compliant with Treasury Board Policy. As a result, the planned projects may change.
