Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The Auditor General previously identified opportunities for millions of dollars in savings and improvements within city operations. While the city states that internal reviews and third-party audits can provide oversight, reports note a fundamental difference between these methods and having a dedicated independent body.
