The proposed resources lead and managed the audit process of a series of audit mandate from the planning to the reporting stage. The resource was also invited to participate to the presentation of the report to the senior management and external committee member.

I provided and documented a few facilitation sessions to key members of the Office of Audit and Evaluation to review observations/findings and agreed on audit plan adjustment. Identify data management weakness and propose implementation of corrective action to improve the data integrity support by a rigourous data governance structure with clear role and responsibility. A risk management framework, was used to support to planned each audit and also performed the Corporate Risk Assessment. I facilitate and contribute to the production of a risk assessment of Canada Post Corporation and subsidiaries strategic plan. I co-lead a series of facilitation session with senior management to review potential risk and assess their potential severity against key element of the COCO framework. The audit criteria were based on a risk management framework, which lead to the development of a few mitigation strategies to facilitate the delivery of the mandate. I developed and implemented interactive audit tools to sufficiently and adequately support key element of the audit plan as per the IIA Standards, which facilitated the application of the audit plan throughout the mandate. I developed and used key interactive audit tools (ACL and audit automation ) to sufficiently and adequately support the findings of this audit as per the IIA Standards.
