(June 1, 2009) Report from the Auditor General

Summary

This report provides information regarding the implementation status of audit recommendations contained in various reports issued by the Auditor General to the City’s agencies, boards and commissions.  The report is the third annual report issued by the Auditor General related to follow-up on management efforts to implement outstanding recommendations at the City’s agencies, boards and commissions.

 

Management has made significant progress on implementing outstanding audit recommendations.  Further, it appears management continues to make progress on recommendations not fully implemented.

 

The results of our review indicate that on a combined basis, City agencies, boards and commissions have implemented 93 per cent of the 162 recommendations made by the Auditor General from January 1, 1999 to June 30, 2008. 

 

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