Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I have a return to oral question asked by Mr. Hawkins on February 16, 2005, regarding GNWT Audit Bureau reporting model.
The Audit Bureau is administratively located in the Financial Management Board Secretariat. The director of the Audit Bureau reports to the comptroller general/secretary to the Financial Management Board on administrative matters.
Operationally the Audit Bureau receives direction from the Audit Committee composed of deputy ministers of Education, Culture and Employment, Health and Social Services, Public Works and Services, the secretary to Cabinet and the secretary to the Financial Management Board. The Audit Committee, chaired by the secretary to the Financial Management Board, reports to the chairman
of the Financial Management Board through Financial Administration Manual directive number 603 providing further detail on the internal Audit Bureau. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
