Acknowledgements
The Canadian Audit and Accountability Foundation’s mission is to promote and strengthen public sector performance audit, oversight, and accountability in Canada and abroad, through research, education, and knowledge sharing.
This new Practice Guide is part of our performance audit capacity-building program and is the fifth in a planned series of such guides. It has been made possible by funding provided by the Foundation’s members and partners.
The consultative process undertaken for the Practice Guide project was extensive and included consultations with many leaders and professionals, both on an individual and collective basis, through networks such as the Canadian Council of Legislative Auditors (CCOLA) and the INTOSAI Working Group on the Audit of Extractive Industries (WGEI).
On behalf of our Board of Directors, we acknowledge the support, thought leadership, and active contributions of the members of the core project team who guided the design and development of this Practice Guide:
Christian Asselin, Chief Audit Executive, Natural Resources Canada |
Kim Cho, Director, Office of the Auditor General of Ontario |
Megan Cimaglia, Senior Manager, Office of the Auditor General of British Columbia |
Richard Domingue, Principal, Office of the Auditor General of Canada |

This Practice Guide project would not have been possible without:

- the contribution of the Foundation’s Research Officer Pierre Fréchette1, Lead Author for this project; and
- the support of Lynne Casiple, the Foundation’s IT and Web Officer.
Finally, we would like to extend our thanks to the individuals who contributed their skills to producing all the material for the Practice Guide website: Nicole Plamondon (translation), Laurel Hyatt (editing), and Paul Edwards and Scott Fair (graphic design).
We hope this Practice Guide will be a useful and practical reference tool for audit professionals in Canada and abroad.
