Introduction
The Integrated Audit and Evaluation Plan (IAEP), referred to as the “Plan”, is prepared by the Audit and Evaluation Branch (AEB) of Natural Resources Canada (NRCan). It contains details on the roles of internal audit, evaluation, the AEB’s planning methodology, and the planned projects for fiscal years (FY) 2023-24 to 2027-28.
The Plan provides a roadmap outlining AEB’s future activity. However, consistent with emerging innovations in the respective disciplines, we strive to remain agile in monitoring and adapting to the changing context and environment of our work. Risk assessment and engagement with clients and partners is a continual activity. As new risks are identified, AEB may need to modify the Plan in consultation with DAC, PMEEC and senior management.
The IAEP is developed in accordance with the requirements of the Treasury Board of Canada (TB) Policy on Internal Audit, related directives and guidelines, the Institute of Internal Auditors’ (IIA) International Standards for the Professional Practice of Internal Auditing, Section 42.1 of the Financial Administration Act (FAA), and the TB Policy on Results.
Figure 1: Four (4) Key Phases of the AEB’s Planning Update
AEB’s approach to planning audits and evaluations is similar to the approaches recommended by the Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat (TBS) and Office of the Comptroller General (OCG). Figure 1 highlights the four key phases common to both the audit planning and the evaluation planning.
Figure 1 - Text version
This figure highlights the four key phases of the selection process when developing a robust Integrated Audit and Evaluation Plan (IAEP). Each phase is shown in a separate quadrant of the diagram.
The first quadrant covers the initial stage where the Audit and Evaluation Universe is defined, which consists of an array of potential NRCan programs and/or entities covering a period of up to 5 years, leading to the type of engagement that will be performed by the Audit and Evaluation Branch (AEB) - e.g. audit, evaluation, joint project. The potential range of projects includes departmental programs, processes, policies, management activities and control functions, as well as departmental and government initiatives that collectively contribute to the achievement of the Department’s core responsibilities. The AEB uses the Departmental Results Framework as well as NRCan's inventory of external legislated services to ensure that the Audit and Evaluation Universe’s composition is as complete as possible. There are approximately over 150 auditable and evaluable entities in the Universe.
The second quadrant describes the environmental scan performed on the priorities of NRCan and the Government of Canada in order to identify audit and evaluation projects.
The third quadrant shows the two-pronged process involving consultations with sector planners and senior management to obtain their views on possible audit topics, as well as to verify evaluation requirements.
The fourth quadrant outlines the project prioritization and selection process, which is based on stated audit and evaluation requirements and the potential to add value to NRCan’s strategic outcomes and operational objectives. Part of this final stage includes seeking approval from the Deputy Minister on the IAEP, which consists of a 3-year plan for audit and 5-year plan for evaluations and joint projects.
Planning Results: Audit, Evaluation, and Joint Projects for 2023-28
Tables 1 through 3 summarize the internal audit projects, joint audit and evaluation projects, and evaluations planned to start during FYs 2023-24 to 2027-28. In total, 54 projects are planned for the next five years.

Follow-up on Audit and Evaluation Recommendations
AEB conducts follow-up on all audit and evaluation recommendations, from both internal and external providers. The follow-up process at NRCan consists of two rounds of follow-up each fiscal year, reporting to NRCan’s DAC and PMEEC.
In each round of follow-up, management self-assesses the implementation progress for each recommendation and associated action plan. When the self-assessment indicates that a recommendation and action plan have been fully implemented, AEB validates this by:
- conducting interviews;
- reviewing supporting documentation; and
- performing analysis and testing based on risk.
Resources and Capacity
Approximately 6,765 person days, equating to 33 professional positions, are available in FY 2023-24 to deliver the Plan. The Plan comprises a range of projects and activities including not only direct assurance engagements, evaluations, and advisory services, but also other activities such as strategic and risk-based planning, follow-up on the implementation of recommendations, special studies, performance reporting, professional practices, and external audit liaison work.
Appendix 1: Five Year Evaluation Schedule (FYs 2023-28)
This table is based on the planned year of approval of the evaluation.
The schedule, scope, and objectives of horizontal evaluations depend on the decisions of the lead department or agency. Information in this IAEP for 2022-27 is based on AEB’s current understanding.

Notes: (1) Spending not covered by planned evaluations is excluded on a risk basis. This means the spending is either recently evaluated; scheduled for an evaluation to be completed in 2028-29 (after the 5-year horizon of the analysis); or deemed to be lower risk and lower priority at this time. Over time and consistent with the TB Policy on Results, AEB intends to cover all departmental spending in its evaluation activity. (2) For Internal Services programs, in general AEB does not currently track spending coverage information for the program. (3) Calculation of total coverage excludes DRF Program 3.05 Statutory Payments (exempt from evaluation). If internal services are also excluded, then the percentage is 93%. |
