Prochaines étapes
Priorité 3.1 – Viabilité de l’endettement
Le FMI et le Groupe de la Banque mondiale devraient fournir des ressources financières aux pays en développement selon des modalités qui favoriseront le développement sans mettre en péril la viabilité de la dette de ces pays ni créer un risque de défaillance.
Nouveau
Mesure à moyen terme
Le FMI et la Banque mondiale devraient continuer de collaborer avec d’autres organisations, comme la Conférence des Nations Unies sur le commerce et le développement (CNUCED) et l’Organisation de coopération et de développement économiques (OCDE), afin que les lignes directrices de ces dernières en matière de prêt responsable concordent avec le Cadre de viabilité de la dette du FMI et de la Banque mondiale.

Summary of the Audit Finding and its Impact

As part of its role relating to the management of circulating Canadian coins, the Department has a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the RCM, specifying the responsibilities of each organization, the agreed upon costs related to the production of coins, and the inventory maximums for each denomination.

Although the Department records General Circulation Coinage inventory as part of the year-end reconciliation process, FSPB does not regularly monitor inventory levels throughout the fiscal year. Without regular monitoring of inventory, there is an increased risk of over-payment, and FSPBs ability to effectively manage inventory-related costs is reduced.

Regular monitoring of the General Circulation Coinage inventory will mitigate the aforementioned risks and will improve the Departments ability to manage the circulation of Canadian coins. It is important to note that during the course of the audit, management began taking action to strengthen this area, after they were informed about this issue by the audit team.

It is important to note that during the course of the audit, management began taking action to strengthen this area, after they were informed about this issue by the audit team.

Recommendation

We agree with this audit finding and the recommendation. Corporate Accounting & Public Debt of the Corporate Services Branch identified this issue during the 2009/10 annual reconciliation.

We are pleased to report that the Financial Sector Policy Branch (FSPB), in consultation with the Royal Canadian Mint (RCM), has developed and implemented a remedial action plan. Effective September 17, 2010, the RCM is reporting current General Circulation Coinage inventory levels against approved levels (as contained in the MOU with the RCM), as part of the biweekly invoice submitted to FSPB. These levels are verified for compliance with the MOU prior to approving payment.

Management Response

It is recommended that the ADM, Financial Sector Policy Branch put in place controls to ensure that the General Circulation Coinage inventory is regularly monitored.

Challenging Work that Counts

At Finance Canada we provide leadership in helping the Government of Canada develop the economic and social policies that will improve the standard of living and quality of life of Canadians, their families and their communities. Our six policy branches provide unparalleled opportunities to work on issues like economic and fiscal forecasting, the federal budget, G-20 and G-7 meetings, federal transfers to the provinces and territories, tax policy, and financial sector regulation. We work on challenging policy issues, and you will have access to decision makers and be able to influence important public policy decisions.

A Collegial, Team-Oriented Work Environment

We are a dynamic organization that includes about 350 economists and policy analysts. Recruits work closely with colleagues within their teams, but also interact with others across the Department by working on crosscutting policy issues or by attending one of the numerous workshops, retreats and informal gatherings that take place throughout the year.

Diversity and Respect

We believe that diverse backgrounds, perspectives and approaches are essential to the development of the best public policies. As such, we encourage applications from Aboriginal people, women, persons with disabilities, and members of visible minorities.
