1.1.4.3 ANNUAL AUDIT PLAN

As a statutory body, the Edmonton Police Commission must be publicly accountable for the governance and oversight of the Police Service. With that responsibility in mind, the Chief of Police will provide the Commission with an Annual Audit Plan which outlines and addresses the risks affecting the organization. The risks identified in this audit plan will be those whose priority merits an audit review.

Guidelines:

1. The Commission will annually review the Service’s risk profile and ensure mitigation strategies are in place.
2. The Service will provide the Commission regular performance reports of the identified risk mitigation strategies.

1.1.4.4. ANNUAL OPERATIONAL PLANNING

The Edmonton Police Commission is responsible for fulfilling a number of governance and oversight functions as outlined in the Police Act. In addition to preparing a joint strategic plan, the Commission is committed to developing an operational plan (work plan) for the Commission that details specific activities and events to be undertaken to implement strategies.

Guidelines:

    1. The Commission’s Operational Plan will be developed annually and will align with the goals and objectives within the Strategic Plan.
    2. The Operational Plan will include a statement of the Commission’s priorities for the year, and strategies for engaging with the public and identifying and developing relationships with key stakeholders.
    3. The Commission will revisit and revise the Operational Plan on an ongoing basis and will be responsive to emergent needs and/or changes in priorities.
