The Financial Officer and Internal Auditor Recruitment and Development (FORD/IARD) Program
FORD/IARD is an unparalleled opportunity. This national program, managed by the Office of the Comptroller General of Canada, recruits and develops university graduates for entry-level positions in financial management and internal audit in government departments and agencies across Canada.

You will be supported and encouraged to work toward a professional designation such as the CMA, CGA, or CIA. Your work experience gained through FORD/IARD will qualify you for your chosen designation’s practical work requirement.
