Item - 2016.AU6.16

The Audit Committee recommends that:

1.  City Council receive the report (June 14, 2016) from Auditor General for information.

On an annual basis the Auditor General reviews the implementation status of outstanding audit recommendations and reports the results to City Council through the Audit Committee.  This report provides the results of the Auditor General's 2016 follow-up review of audit recommendations to City agencies and corporations.

From July 1, 2010 to June 30, 2015, the Auditor General issued 17 reports to City agencies and corporations containing a total of 212 recommendations.  Six of these recommendations are no longer applicable due to either re-organizations or changes to business practices.  Of the remaining 206 recommendations, City agencies and corporations have implemented, as of April 2016, 67 per cent or 139 of the applicable recommendations.

Continued efforts to implement outstanding recommendations will provide additional benefits to City agencies and corporations such as cost savings, additional revenue and enhanced service delivery.

This update on the status of outstanding recommendations includes the following City agencies and corporations:

1.      Toronto Police Services

2.      Toronto Community Housing Corporation
