The relationship internally.... The financial management community is responsible for the state and for providing leadership within government for the state of controls and risk management in government. The internal audit community provides, independently from that community, assurance to the deputy minister that those controls are in place.
I've indicated that the internal audit community is responding well and functioning quite well in government. They, then, are an independent source of assurance to the deputy minister on those areas of control within the department that need attention.
