Review Engagement Report

To the Members of the Legislative Assembly

I have reviewed the performance measure identified as “Reviewed by Auditor General” in the Ministry of Seniors and Community Supports’ 2010-11 Annual Report. This performance measure is the responsibility of the Ministry and is prepared based on the following criteria:

• Reliability – Information agrees with the underlying data and with sources used to prepare it.
• Understandability and Comparability – Current results are presented clearly in accordance with the stated methodology and are comparable with previous results.
• Completeness – Performance measures and targets match those included in Budget 2010.

My review was made in accordance with Canadian generally accepted standards for review engagements and, accordingly, consisted primarily of enquiry, analytical procedures and discussion related to information supplied to my Office by the Ministry. My review was not designed to provide assurance on the relevance of this performance measure.

A review does not constitute an audit and, consequently, I do not express an audit opinion on the performance measure.

Based on my review, nothing has come to my attention that causes me to believe that the “Reviewed by Auditor General” performance measure in the Ministry’s 2010-11 Annual Report is not, in all material respects, presented in accordance with the criteria of reliability, understandability, comparability, and completeness as described above. However, my review was not designed to provide assurance on the relevance of this performance measure.
