Summary

This report provides information regarding the implementation status of audit recommendations contained in various reports issued by the Auditor General to City divisions.  The report is the third such annual report issued by the Auditor General related to follow-up on management efforts to implement outstanding recommendations.

 

Management has made significant progress on implementing outstanding audit recommendations.  Further, we noted that management continues to make progress on many recommendations not yet fully implemented.

 

The results of our review indicate management has fully implemented 690 or 85 per cent of the 919 recommendations made by the Auditor General from January 1, 1999 to June 30, 2007.

 

Continued efforts to implement outstanding recommendations will provide additional benefit to the City through cost savings, additional revenue and enhanced service delivery.

Financial Impact

The recommendations in this report have no financial impact.
