Audit and evaluation reports

The Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission (CNSC) conducts and undergoes internal audits and program evaluations to measure its effectiveness and to obtain advice on related projects.

Internal audit is an independent, objective assurance and consulting activity designed to add value to an organization’s operations.

Program evaluations help to measure success and identify priorities or areas of focus. They provide accurate, objective and factual information to assist the CNSC in making sound decisions.
