Internal Audit

In this department, we perform assurance and consulting engagements based on the Council-approved risk-based audit plan.

The assurance services we do include, but not limited to, compliance, operational, financial, forensic, technology, value for money and internal control audits. We also provide consulting services related to internal controls, governance and risk management as requested by management to assist in areas such as the implementation of a new or revised internal process or system changes.

In addition, we conduct or provide support for special investigations, deliver practical and actionable recommendations to City senior management and the Audit Committee, provide follow-up reports to the Audit Committee on the status of implemented audit recommendations, and advise management on conducting risk assessments.

The City’s Internal Audit department exists to provide independent and objective assurance and consulting services designed to add value to help enhance the operations of the City. We assist the corporation in accomplishing its objectives by bringing a systematic and disciplined approach to evaluate and improve the effectiveness of the organization’s governance, risk management and internal controls.
