Audit of materiel support of Canadian Forces deployed operations

The principal focus of the audit was to assess the AIA effectiveness of the supply and movement of materiel to deployed Canadian contingents. [...] Insufficient holdings of critical stock is a key contributor to the gap between “required” and actual materiel delivery times as portrayed in Figure 1. A comparison is made of the actual median days – the 50 percentile distribution – for the receipt of materiel, relative to the time requested. [...] Late in the conduct phase of this internal audit, the team had access to the report prepared by the OAG in December 2001 on the Serviceability of In-Service Equipment. [...] The primary objective of this audit was to assess the management of the provision of materiel support to CF deployed operations, including the control of, and accounting for, deployed materiel. [...] The scope of this audit was limited to the supply and movement of materiel in support of deployed operations.
