Internal Audits 2013–14

Under the revised Treasury Board Policy on Internal Audit that came into effect in April 2012, the School is classified as a Small Department/Agency for auditing purposes. In this context, the Office of the Comptroller General of Canada (OCG) becomes the de facto Chief Audit Executive for the School. The School will therefore work with the OCG and its Small Departments Audit Committee. The School has not initiated any internal audits or participated in any OCG horizontal audits in 2013–14.

Evaluations 2013–14

1. The School is classified as a Small Department/Agency (SDA) under the Treasury Board Policy on Evaluation. Application of the Policy to SDAs is deferred until otherwise directed by the President of the Treasury Board, with the exception of section 6.2. The School will ensure that the requirements identified in section 6.2 of the Policy on Evaluation are met.
2. The School's 2013–14 Report on Plans and Priorities identified a program evaluation for the "New Official Languages Learning Model" with an expected completion date of 2016–17. As the School ceased the direct delivery of language training, the decision was made to no longer proceed with the program evaluation of the former delivery model. However, the School continues to work with Public Works and Government Services Canada on the organization's roles and responsibilities under the new delivery model of language training, and a program evaluation is expected to be conducted when the new model has been finalized.
