Auditing in Municipalities: The Role of City Councillors and the Oversight of Audit (in French)

This webinar recording is in French only.

Municipalities face increasing financial challenges and expectations to provide effective oversight. Audited financial statements and performance audit reports are key elements of effective oversight for municipal councils. Some municipalities have put an audit committee in place to examine these important sources of oversight information in more depth.

This webinar, focusing on the municipal environment in Quebec, will provide a stimulating discussion on issues facing councillors, audit committee members, auditors, and city managers. In this webinar, you will learn about:

• The role of council (the audit committee where one is in place), particularly in relation to financial statement audit and performance audit reports;
• The role of auditors, their varied mandates, and their expectations regarding city council;
• The role of city management concerning the auditor and in support of city council;
• Key factors that can support effective oversight by city council;
• and The benefit of implementing an audit committee and lessons learned.
