The Canadian Audit & 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 the our performance audit capacity-building program and is the fourth 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 Guide1:

This Practice Guide project would not have been possible without:
- the leadership provided by CCAF-FCVI’s President and CEO John Reed, Chair of the core project team;
- the contribution of CCAF-FCVI's Research Officer Pierre Fréchette, Lead Author of the Practice Guide; and
- the support of CCAF-FCVI staff members Julien Raynaud, Project Officer, and Lynne Casiple, Computer Specialist and Webmistress.
Finally, we would like to extend our thanks to the individuals who contributed their skills to the process of producing all the material for the Practice Guide website: Nicole Plamondon (translation), Laurel Hyatt(editing), and Paul Edwards (graphic design).
