    Treasury Board Secretariat Internal Audit Division POSITION PROFILE POSITION TITLE: Executive Director, Professional Practice Executive Director, Operational Audits REPORTS TO: Internal Audit, Senior Management ORGANIZATION: Government of Manitoba CLOSING DATE: January 4, 2021 ABOUT THE TREASURY BOARD SECRETARIAT AND INTERNAL AUDIT DIVISION Governments of all levels are challenged with increasing citizen expectations for what and how services are delivered, rising costs and limited tolerance for tax increases. Citizens want to receive the right services in the right ways at the right costs, getting value for invested tax dollars. The Government of Manitoba has been working for the past few years to undertake a rapid and comprehensive public sector transformation initiative, ensuring critical public services are delivered efficiently and cost effectively, are focused on outcomes transparently reported to citizens and, most importantly, can be sustained for decades to come. Strong financial controls and oversight are the single most important pillar in achieving sustainability and accountable government. The Treasury Board Secretariat (TBS) provides financial and analytical support and strategic management advice to the Minister of Finance and Treasury Board, a sub-committee of Cabinet, responsible for the overall fiscal management and reporting of the Manitoba government and the establishment of policies required for the effective management of public funds to meet government objectives. Treasury Board Secretariat is also responsible for the summary budgeting, public accounts, strategic initiatives, government-wide balanced scorecards and internal audit functions. TBS is the centre of the public service transformation, providing leadership in the focus on outcomes and the journey to fiscal sustainability. Now sitting within Treasury Board Secretariat, the Internal Audit Division is made up of the Professional Practice Branch and the Operational Audits Branch.
