Overall, the audit and advisory work provided by the City Auditor’s Office acts as a catalyst for improving an organization’s effectiveness and efficiency by providing insight and recommendations on risk management effectiveness.

Audit Plan

The City Auditor's Office Charter requires the City Auditor to prepare annually a risk based Annual Audit Plan for approval by Audit Committee and for information to Council. The City Auditor's Office Charter is aligned with The International Standards for the Professional Practice of Internal Auditing which require the establishment of a risk-based plan to determine the priorities of the internal audit activity, consistent with the organization’s goals.

The annual plan development process, which utilizes a risk based methodology is a critical deliverable provided by the City Auditor's Office to ensure audit resources are directed to the most significant areas of The City.
