External ICFR Audit and Internal Monitoring Framework Development PASS - E60ZQ-180001; Stream 6 (Financial and Accounting Services)

FedNor requires the services of an independent and qualified accounting or audit firm to assess the design and operating effectiveness of its Internal Controls over Financial Management (ICFM), including Internal Controls over Financial Reporting (ICFR), and to provide recommendations for improvement. The engagement will also include the development of a sustainable, risk-based internal monitoring framework aligned with Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat requirements and the COSO Internal Control – Integrated Framework. This work will provide independent assurance over FedNor’s financial control environment, support management’s financial reporting responsibilities, strengthen governance and accountability, and establish an ongoing approach to monitoring internal controls that reduces long-term reliance on external service providers.
