Summary
This follow-up audit assessed the progress that the government and the Canadian Firearms Centre have made in implementing the 2002 recommendation: that the recording and reporting of costs and revenues for 2004-2005 should fairly present the full costs of developing, implementing, and enforcing the Canadian Firearms Program; all revenues collected by the Centre; and all the refunds it made. In addition, operational issues that were not addressed in the first audit were examined: financial information reported to Parliament, measuring and reporting of performance, management of contracting, and contracting for the Canadian Firearms Information System.
