The audit review process is designated to support and improve practice in Indigenous Child and Family Service (ICFS) agencies. Audit practice analysts work together and consult with ICFS agency staff as needed, when they are reviewing records.
ICFS agency audits cover and report out on all areas of practice that a specific ICFS agency conducts. Every agency across the province is audited separately using audit tools and audit interviews of the ICFS agency staff and management to report out qualitative and quantitative data.
The practice audit process for ICFS agencies are based on the Aboriginal Operational Practice Standards and Indicators (AOPSI) as well as Ministry of Children and Family Development (MCFD) policies when applicable.
For the AOPSI based practice audits, all standards are measured, so critical measures are not developed.
Once data is collected and the report is completed, it's shared with the ICFS agency.
These audits are completed on a three year rotation. MCFD is required to publish these practice audits.

The Directors Forum currently represents 23 agencies, as more First Nations develop their own child and family services. Its comprehensive quality assurance system contributes to an organization's efficiency, transparency, accountability, and positive community relations.
