Appendix A – Audit and Evaluation Universe

This year’s A&E universe was mapped against the current PAA (2008-2009), to be consistent and coherent with the analysis for the recent Strategic Review, one of the primary inputs for this year’s risk assessment and planning process.

At EC, 2009-2010 will be considered a transition year with changes being made to the PAA to achieve a new, simpler and clearer PAA in 2010-2011.

The following table represents the audit and evaluation (A&E) universe (over 160 entities), the potential range of all audit and evaluation activities, including programs, activities, functions, structures and initiatives which collectively contribute to the achievement of the department’s strategic outcomes.

Audit and evaluation projects (both internal and external) have been mapped by PAA element for the next three years, with its corresponding risk and priority levels.
