We've released our annual performance audit coverage plan, summarizing our next three years of work.
Sharing our audit intentions publicly is an important part of maintaining transparency and engaging with our stakeholders. While the plan covers the next three years, we update it annually to reflect new priorities or significant changes in government.
This year, we added seven new projects to the list bringing the total number of projects started over the next three years to 56. The new projects include taking a look at employment programs and rate-regulated accounting at BC Hydro.
We also removed six projects from last year's list such as the audit of biosecurity risk in agriculture (because most of the authority resides with the federal government) and the one on health leadership (which will be examined within our other audits). The plan explains these changes and any others.
We receive hundreds of audit suggestions each year from a variety of sources and meet regularly with our stakeholders. We use rigorous criteria to determine which audits to undertake and to ensure the chosen audits will carry the greatest relevance and value to government and the people of B.C.
The full coverage plan is available here on our website.
