DID YOU KNOW ??

In September 2017, Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat published the Guide to Travel, Hospitality, Conference and Event Expenditures. This guide provides best practices for implementing the Treasury Board Directive of the same name. This guide defines what is considered a conference or an event, and what is considered training, It also establishes the responsibility for the government-wide functional lead to objectively determine, on a case- by-case basis, whether a large information sharing or learning session are to be considered conferences or training.

On September 15, 2017 the Comptroller General of Canada, the government-wide functional lead for procurement and materiel management, determined that the CIPMM Annual National Workshop is to be considered training! This means that departments no longer need to request conference and event approval to send delegates to the National Workshop.

Departments simply need to follow their regular training approval processes. For more information on this decision, please refer to the Guide at http://intranet.canada.ca/pol/doc-eng.aspx?id=32553 

You can also find the table indicating the Comptroller General’s decision at http://www.gcpedia.gc.ca/wiki/Financial_Management_Policy_Suite/Conference_versus_training Please note that these two links are only accessible on the Government of Canada network.
