Dear Ms. Boland:
Indigenous Services Canada (ISC), formerly Indigenous and Northern Affairs Canada (INAC), conducted a number of recipient audits in fiscal year 2016-17, including an audit of MAMU Tshishkutamashutau / Innu Education Inc. Please find attached a copy of the summary of the report and full audit report. The summary report 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.
As a result of this recipient audit, a non-compliant amount has been identified and is subject to recovery. A regional representative of ISC will contact you shortly to discuss the next steps related to repayment.
The audit report also includes recommendations to assist in improving management practices. We look forward to working together to develop a plan to address the management recommendations.
Please contact your regional ISC representative to discuss any questions or concerns you may have regarding this audit.
