Mitigation activities such as recipient auditing, consistent performance reporting and service standard monitoring have reduced program design and management risks while enhancing service to clients. Business Risk Management (BRM) program administrators continued to work cooperatively to identify and address risks towards the consistent and increasing quality of BRM program delivery. Initiatives were implemented that helped improve client service and accuracy. AAFC developed technology to provide a one-window access to both federally and provincially delivered programs. A service excellence communication plan was also developed to drive culture change and meet AAFC's priority of achieving service excellence. A contribution agreement template for non-BRM programs, as well as grants and contributions program and risk management training, helped ensure efficient program control. Recipient reporting and auditing were enhanced through centralized financial and performance reporting of provincial and territorial agreements and the Department's Recipient/Project Risk Management Framework. [Risk] 
Program Risk AAFC's highly complex programs and broad range of clients present risks for potential errors, or risks that management processes and tools are inadequate to provide sufficient program control frameworks.
