City Auditor role
The Office of the City Auditor is an independent office. The City Auditor sees the whole of the organization and supports the City in the achievement of its strategic, department and service-oriented goals and objectives. The work of a City Auditor includes:
• assessing how risks are managed
• providing recommendations to increase the certainty of achieving goals and objectives

• advising and consulting management and staff during the development of new opportunities and projects to enhance internal controls and minimize risk.
If he was a member how impartial is he going to be in terms of the mile long list of infractions Council and the Audit Committee have been part of since 2014? We have been waiting for such a time as this but looks ss though the City covered its behind with this appointment. Why are we surprised? We will have a report ready for him to address upon bis arrival. INDEPENDENT, YEAH RIGHT.
