Paris audited 3 times!!!!!

2.2.1 CAIPS Training

At the time of our audit, the CAIPS Manager had not received CAIPS training appropriate to a CAIPS Manager. Incoming CAIPS Managers should receive training either in Ottawa or from the outgoing CAIPS Manager, or possibly both. Although issues relating to the training of the CAIPS Manager at the Paris Mission have been resolved, we were concerned because the CAIPS Manager had not initially been properly trained. The lack of training led him to depend heavily on a locally engaged CAIPS operator, to whom the Mission had delegated considerable responsibility. We noted that some practices resulting from the ensuing dependence were continuing at the Mission. These practices entail a degree of risk, as discussed under 2.2.2, below.
