3 Introduction Bylaw 12424, City Auditor Bylaw, established the position of City Auditor and delegated the powers, duties, and functions to that position. The City Auditor is responsible for all internal auditing activities within City programs and City agencies. This includes: Providing independent, objective assurance and advisory services designed to add value and improve the City s programs. Assisting the City with accomplishing its objectives by bringing a systematic, disciplined approach to evaluate and improve the effectiveness of risk management, control, and governance processes. Coordinating fraud investigation activities. The s (OCA) Annual Work Plan outlines the work it intends to conduct during the year. Bylaw 16097, Audit Committee Bylaw, gives Audit Committee the power to approve the Annual Work Plan. Annual Project Cycle The following diagram illustrates the OCA s Annual Project Cycle. The process begins with the development of the Annual Work Plan. Annual Work Plan Development Recommendation Follow Up Audit Committee Approves Plan Project Reporting Conduct Project Work 1
4 Annual Work Plan Development The OCA s annual planning process is designed to ensure that it prepares a risk-based work plan and that, through its execution, adds value to the corporation. The following diagram illustrates the OCA s process for developing its Annual Work Plan. Potential Projects and Section Risk Self-Assessments Draft Annual Work Plan Development Annual Work Plan Approval 1. Potential Projects The OCA maintains a database of potential projects. These projects are identified through suggestions from members of City Council, Executive Leadership Team, City Administration, discussion with the City s external auditor, observations made by audit staff, hotline tips, and reviews of audits conducted in other jurisdictions. The OCA assesses each project using the following risk factors: Volume and value of assets, expenditures, or transactions; Vulnerability of the area; Amount of regulation applicable to the area; Strength of internal control environment; Governance and ethics environment of the area; Sensitivity of information; and When the area was last audited. 2
5 As well, we exercise professional judgment to acknowledge varying degrees of impact on overall operations, trends within the City, or Council-directed projects in determining the final risk assessment score for each potential project. 2. Section Risk Self-Assessments In 2017, each section in the City completed a risk self-assessment as required by the City s Enterprise Risk Management Directive. The City s Enterprise Risk Management area led the process and assisted with the completion of the assessments. The assessments include a list of risks to the achievement of the goals of the section, including a corresponding analysis of identified risks, the likelihood of their occurrence, the magnitude of the impact the occurrence of the risk will have on the corporation, and mitigation strategies. 3. Draft Annual Work Plan Development We combine the risk scores of the potential projects with the program area risk selfassessment scores to develop a final risk score for each program area. We then rank the program areas based on the risk score. Through an annual workshop, the OCA staff review the ranked list of program areas and identified projects and discuss project scope, potential outcomes, resources required, and audit priority. Following the opportunity for staff input, the OCA management team chooses the projects to include in the draft Annual Work Plan. 4. Annual Work Plan Approval The OCA circulates the draft Annual Work Plan to Audit Committee and City Council and places it on the last Audit Committee meeting agenda of the year for discussion and approval. Audit Committee may require changes to the proposed Annual Work Plan prior to its approval. After approval of the Annual Work Plan, the OCA meets with the City s external auditor to coordinate audit activities and ensure efforts are not duplicated. Audit Project Categories The OCA s and Long Term Audit Plan include projects within the following categories: 1. Value for Money Audits Value for money audits include program area audits identified through our program area risk assessments, audit projects identified through our audit universe, and Information Technology audits. All value for money audits begin with identifying the process or program area s goals and assessing risks that could interfere with accomplishing those goals. These audits determine whether a department, process, service, or program operates efficiently, effectively, and economically and whether risks are appropriately mitigated. Results from these audits are used both by the Administration and by City Council to improve the manner in which each program area delivers its services. These 3
6 audits may include use of computer assisted audit techniques that allow the OCA to analyze large amounts of data maintained on corporate systems. 2. Investigations These audits are designed to prove or refute alleged fraudulent behaviour or misconduct by a City employee or other parties. 3. Proactive Projects These projects allow the OCA to provide proactive, strategic, risk, and control-related advice prior to and during the development and implementation of projects, programs, and systems. This helps to ensure that appropriate controls and safeguards are in place to achieve the stated goals. As well, post-implementation reviews of selected information systems may be undertaken. Other proactive activities undertaken by OCA staff include serving on selected corporate committees; this allows the OCA to ensure that leading practice and control-related inputs receive appropriate attention throughout the project. As well, OCA staff members provide ongoing monitoring of certain activities, providing assurance that specific controls are working as intended. 4. Follow-up Reviews These audit projects allow the OCA to determine the adequacy, effectiveness, and timeliness of actions taken by management on recommendations made in audit reports. Our audit reports provide recommendations to the Administration that identify opportunities for improvement. We maintain a database of audit recommendations to facilitate the recommendation follow-up process. 5. OCA Governance and Leadership Activities The OCA participates in a number of initiatives that support City Council and Audit Committee s governance responsibilities and contribute to leading audit practices by others. As well, the OCA coordinates its audit efforts with the City s external auditor to optimize audit benefits to the City, including increased audit coverage and avoidance of duplicate audit work. 6. Emerging Issues These are audits or projects that are not listed in the Annual Work Plan. These projects may be identified by the OCA during a scheduled audit, by City Council, by the Administration, or by a member of the public. As stated in the City Auditor Bylaw, with the exception of projects directed by Council, the City Auditor will use discretion to decide whether, when, and how to best address emerging issues. 4
7 The following Work Plan outlines the program area and project audits that the OCA has identified as high priority based on our risk assessments. Our goal is to have a flexible work plan to facilitate the completion of outstanding projects, undertake new ones, and initiate some that will be carried forward to We will identify the exact scope of each project during our project planning process. The City Auditor will provide Terms of Reference documents for significant projects to Council Members, as well as the Public Audit Committee Members. The City Auditor will also provide periodic status reports of all OCA activity to the Audit Committee.

We will investigate allegations of suspected fraud and misconduct as appropriate.

10 Title Fraud Risk Management Continuous Auditing Description The OCA will continue to support the City s fraud risk management efforts by updating the City s website, posting Fraud Prevention Tips and facilitating fraud awareness presentations throughout the organization as requested by business areas or initiated by the OCA. We use advanced audit software to provide ongoing monitoring of selected information systems and activities. This helps to identify potential risks and also provide assurance that specific controls are working as intended.

Follow-up Reviews Follow-up of Recommendations Our audit reports provide recommendations to the Administration that identify opportunities for improvement.
