Summary
In 2009 City Council approved a report entitled “A Policy Framework for Toronto’s Accountability Officers”. The Policy Framework supports the appropriate balance of independence in the Officers’ decision making processes and accountability to Council for the management of their offices, and their performance in fulfilling their mandates.
The Policy Framework requires that “Consistent with the current audit requirement for the Auditor General, the accountability officers will undergo an annual compliance audit by an external auditor, appointed by and reporting to City Council. The annual compliance audit will provide Council assurance the officers are carrying out their operations within delegated authorities and in compliance with applicable City by-laws and policies.”
The independent annual compliance audit of the Auditor General’s Office by the external auditor Hilborn Ellis Grant LLP is anticipated to be submitted to the July 3, 2012 meeting of the Audit Committee.
