Supporting Vulnerable Populations through Performance Auditing:
Considerations, Approaches, and Lessons Learned

This session will provide an overview of how three audit offices of different sizes and levels of government (federal, provincial, county) approach audits on topics affecting vulnerable populations. Presenters will describe recent audits of services provided to people in vulnerable situations. Presenters will also talk about considerations for engaging with vulnerable populations during the audit and supporting teams who are reviewing these difficult topic areas. A large part of the session will be devoted to structured and unstructured Q and A. Throughout this panel discussion, attendees
will be able to:

• Describe topics and approaches for audits that affect vulnerable populations;
• Identify opportunities and considerations for engaging with people in vulnerable situations; and
• Learn techniques for supporting teams that are overseeing such audits.
