Summary
On an annual basis, the Auditor General reviews the implementation status of outstanding audit recommendations and reports the results of the review to Council through the Audit Committee. This report provides information regarding the implementation status of audit recommendations contained in various reports issued by the Auditor General to City divisions.
Since January 1, 1999, the Auditor General has issued 243 audit reports to City divisions containing 1,781 recommendations. As of April 2016, City divisions have fully implemented 82 per cent or 1,460 of the audit recommendations.
More specifically, for the five-year period from July 1, 2010 to June 30, 2015, the Auditor General issued 67 audit reports to City divisions containing a total of 605 recommendations. Twelve of these recommendations are no longer relevant due to re-organizations or changes to business practices. Of the remaining 593 relevant recommendations, City divisions have fully implemented 434 or 73 per cent of the recommendations.
Although management has made progress in implementing audit recommendations, 36 recommendations have been outstanding for over three years of which 28 have been outstanding for five or more years. Management is taking steps to implement these recommendations.
Continued efforts to implement outstanding recommendations will provide additional benefits to the City such as cost savings, improved controls, additional revenue and enhanced service delivery.
