Summary
This consolidated year-end report summarizes the 2018 recommendation follow-up results of all City divisions, the City Manager's Office, Agencies and Corporations, and recommendations issued by the Auditor General's Forensic Unit.
The report provides the status of audit recommendations issued prior to December 31, 2016. A total of 323 outstanding recommendations were included in the 2018 follow-up review.
Among the 323 recommendations, our review verified that 72 recommendations (22 per cent) have been fully implemented, and 20 recommendations (6 per cent) are no longer applicable. There are 231 recommendations (72 per cent) that remain not fully implemented.
Continued efforts to implement outstanding recommendations will provide additional financial and non-financial benefits to the City and its Agencies and Corporations. These benefits include cost savings, additional revenue, enhanced service delivery, and improved controls.
We express our appreciation for the co-operation and assistance we received from the management and staff of City divisions, the City Manager's Office and the Agencies and Corporations.
