Key compliance attributes of internal audit
The department of Employment and Social Development Canada (the Department) publishes key performance results for its internal audit function. This is done in accordance with the Treasury Board Directive on Internal Audit.
These results, or key compliance attributes, demonstrate that, at a minimum, the fundamental elements necessary for oversight are:
- in place
- operating as intended
- achieving results
Publishing internal audit key performance results informs Canadians regarding the professionalism, performance and impact of the internal audit function. These are not performance measures and there are no targets attached.
More information on the publication of these attributes is available on the Office of the Comptroller General’s website through the following link:
