Internal Audit and Review Division Charter

The Non Public Property Board of Directors (NPP BOD), under the auspices of its governance framework, provides Internal Audit and Review functionality to the CFPSA, the Environmental Chiefs of Staff (ECS) and to Base/Wing/Unit commanders having responsibility for CF morale and welfare activities. This functionality includes, but is not specifically limited to, the review and internal audit of PSP policies, procedures, activities and operations.

The NPP BOD mandates the CFPSA Internal Audit and Review organization. Its responsibilities are defined by that Board’s Audit & Accountability Committee, which includes both internal and external members, and by the President & Chief Executive Officer. With respect to the operations of the CFPSA, the President & CEO has, through the judicious use of the review and internal audit functions available, a means for determining the efficiency, effectiveness and economy with which all morale and welfare activities are conducted.

Our mission:

To provide independent appraisal and client-focused advice to management on financial and operational issues

Internal Audit and Review: Looking ahead

The Internal Audit and Review Division assumed the lead role in February 2004 to initiate a broad-based NPP program designed to maintain and enhance the confidence of the NPP community in matters of corporate integrity and ethics as they relate to NPP operations at all levels, locally and nationally.
