KPMG Audit Report 2011: Progress Report on External Project Management Milestones

The following is our first annual independent audit of the Canadian Boreal Forest Agreement (CBFA), covering the period from May 2010 to May 2011. This third-party, independent audit was undertaken by KPMG on behalf of the CBFA signatories and provides us with an assessment of progress against our milestones as articulated within the agreement itself. The CBFA signatories are prioritizing our work in response to the assessment.

We will be completing our second audit in May 2012.
