As an officer of Parliament, the OAG is independent from government and reports directly to the Parliament of Canada. Given its mandate, the OAG is not subject to direct Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat oversight. Consequently, the OAG’s internal oversight mechanisms are of significant importance to ensuring that adequate management practices are in place. PRIA is one of these oversight mechanisms, as it provides assurance to management through internal audits and practice reviews.
This document presents PRIA’s Risk-Based Plan for the 2020–21 to 2022–23 Fiscal Years for the OAG. PRIA has updated the plan to consider the latest results of the OAG’s integrated risk management process and the detailed work and analysis completed by PRIA in the 2019–20 fiscal year. The plan combines proposed internal audit engagements and practice reviews to be completed over the next 3 fiscal years. In determining its planned activities, PRIA sought to allocate its resources to the OAG’s areas of significant risk.
