The project managers also review findings for relevancy, materiality, and significance. When reports are complete, copies go to the Commissioners, the Chief General Manager and all executive committee members. Auditees must formally respond to the reports, generally within six months of receipt. However, IAD would like to improve its own process of follow-up on outstanding findings. The IAD has 17 personnel, including the Chief Auditor and one administrative staff person.
Most staff are long term TTC employees.
Many come to the IAD from operating divisions. This has been invaluable in terms of being able to perform effective operations reviews. The next most likely source of staff is the government sector, followed by public accounting then private industry. Employee evaluations are documented on agency-wide employee evaluation forms. The IAD provides for more than 40 hours of continuing education per year even though the requirement in Canada is only 30 hours.
