Audit of controls over the reliability of data in the Canadian Forces Taskings, Plans and Operations (CFTPO) application .: D58-264/2016E-PDF

"The work of military taskers is critical to ensuring that mission requirements are matched with the resources needed to achieve them. The tasking process allows the DND/CAF to plan its activities in order to ensure that military requirements are appropriately resourced, providing the right mix of personnel and equipment to enable mission success. The Canadian Forces Taskings, Plans and Operations (CFTPO) application supports the tasking process. This information system brings together departmental information on personnel and equipment capabilities and availabilities in order for military taskers to assemble the teams that will meet the specific requirements of each activity. The Military Command Software Centre (MCSC) of the Canadian Army (CA) manages the system development and support for the CFTPO application. The MCSC works in collaboration with the organizations responsible for planning tasks and assigning resources, as well as with the organizations responsible for supporting the information obtained from other systems in order to deliver on a task planning capability for the DND/CAF. Given the importance of this application in operational planning, the Assistant Deputy Minister (Review Services) (ADM(RS)) conducted an audit of the CFTPO application. This audit was undertaken to determine whether the appropriate application controls are in place to help ensure the accuracy and completeness of the CFTPO application data. The audit was conducted in accordance with the Chief Review Services (CRS) Risk-based Internal Audit Plan for fiscal years 2014/15 to 2016/17"--Results in brief, p. iii.
