Ref:  2016-17 Recipient Audit Results and Follow-Up

Dear Mr. Russell:

Crown Indigenous Relations and Northern Affairs (CIRNA), formally Indigenous and Northern Affairs Canada (INAC), conducted a number of recipient audits in fiscal year 2016-17, including an audit of Nunatukavut Community Council. Please find a copy of the full audit report and a summary of the report. The summary will be published on the department's website in the coming weeks, along with this management letter. Should you wish, you may provide a written response to me, pertaining to this audit within 30 days. Your response will also be posted.

The audit report includes a number of recommendations to assist in improving management practices. We look forward to working together to develop a plan to address the management recommendations.

As a result of this recipient audit, a non-compliant amount had been identified and is subject to recovery. A regional representative of CIRNA will contact you shortly to discuss the next steps including an appropriate repayment calendar.

In the meanwhile, please contact your CIRNA representative to discuss any questions or concerns you may have regarding this audit.

Sincerely,

Paul Thoppil, CPA, CA
Chief Finances, Results and Delivery Officer
