Point of Sale (POS) audit report / Office of Internal Audit and Evaluation.: R62-463/2016E-PDF
"The Point of Sale (POS) system was implemented across Parks Canada Agency (PCA) during the 2013 operating season in national parks, national historic sites and national marine conservation areas to facilitate and standardize the collection of revenue and financial information, which used to be collected through various systems (Vectron, manual systems, etc.). The POS system was also selected to help the Agency collect, store and manage business intelligence at different parks and sites. The system is mainly managed by an internal Parks Canada team, and the data are stored on Agency servers. The Agency also has support from a third party for system configuration and administration, and user support. As of November 2014, over 250 terminals were divided among 32 field units (FUs). The audit objective was to evaluate the adequacy of the existing control framework (governance, internal controls, and risk management) to support the collection of financial and business intelligence through the POS system. The scope of the audit included a sample of national parks and national historic sites, ensuring representation of various types of Parks Canada operations. The data used for analysis dated between April 1 and November 30, 2014“--Executive summary, p. 4.
