Audit of the Post-Secondary Education Program / prepared by Audit and Assurance Services Branch.: R5-88/2009E-PDF
The objective of the Post-Secondary Education Program ("the Program") is to improve the employability of First Nation people and Inuit by providing eligible students with access to education and skill development opportunities at the post-secondary level. Annual INAC disbursements under the Program are in excess of $300 million. The objective of the audit was to provide assurance on the adequacy and effectiveness of the management control framework of the Program and on the regional controls for administering recipient contributions to ensure compliance with applicable authorities and policy frameworks. Internal Audit is unable to provide assurance, as key components are lacking, that the Program's management control framework is adequate and effective in ensuring the achievement of Program objectives. In terms of regional controls for administering recipient contributions, Internal Audit concludes that while established procedures are in place for obtaining and reviewing performance and financial reporting, monitoring and compliance auditing activities are not sufficiently robust to provide assurance that there is consistent compliance with applicable legislation and policy and Program frameworks.
