Description

The Privacy Impact Assessment (PIA) was developed as part of the Department’s commitment to protection of personal information. It also meets the Management of Information Technology Security requirements obligating departmental major services to undergo a security and privacy assessment at this point. An administrative investigation can be defined as a formal fact-finding inquiry, conducted by an investigator, which examines allegations of misconduct in order to determine whether wrong-doing has occurred and, if so, the persons or entities responsible, as well as the amount of loss. The purpose of which is to allow management to make an informed decision. An administrative investigation is conducted to probe allegations of employee financial misconduct and to confirm or deny their validity. The Special Investigations Division may undertake investigations for the following incidents: financial fraud, malfeasance, or losses of money and/or property of the Crown. A systematic evaluation of the circumstances and facts surrounding an allegation is required. The administrative investigation may be conducted independent of or in conjunction with a criminal investigation; however, the latter is conducted by a law enforcement agency and is not a substitute for an administrative inquiry. After an administrative investigation is conducted, a report is provided to senior management with the facts of the case, including what weaknesses led to the loss and what controls are recommended to mitigate future risks. This report is then taken into consideration in management's decision to impose administrative and/or disciplinary measures.
