What it does
The Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat considers and challenges spending proposals from federal organizations before presenting them to Treasury Board ministers. The Oversight and Treasury Board Support program performs due diligence reviews of Treasury Board Submissions and Memoranda to Cabinet in order to provide advice to Treasury Board regarding resource allocation, risks, and policy compliance. This work supports sound decision making, value for money, compliance with rules and policies, and alignment with Government of Canada priorities and objectives. In addition, this program provides strategic advice, guidance and support to federal organizations in their implementation and application of Treasury Board policies, and on government priorities, risk management strategies, and performance management.
