The Board is required by legislation to conduct periodic independent audits of government and holders of an agreement under FRPA and in order to maintain the integrity of the program, Board policy is that once a licence has been notified of the audit, the Board will carry out the audit, without exception.

While the Board strives to have all of the audits published prior to the start of the next field season, the timing of the report can vary dramatically based on the potential issues to be analyzed and scheduling of exit meetings and possible representations.
