Ref: 2013-14 Recipient Audit Results and Follow-Up
Dear Chief Redsky and Council:
Indigenous Services Canada (ISC), formerly Indigenous and Northern Affairs Canada (INAC), conducted a number of recipient audits in fiscal year 2013-14, including an audit of Shoal Lake #40 First Nation. Please find attached a copy of the full audit report and a summary of the 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, an initial potential recoverable amount was identified and resolved.
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 about this audit.
