1st Local Gov't Audits announced

Editor's Note - It will be interesting to see what the AG for Local Government reports on the City of Williams Lake under the audit topic of "Local government performance in managing policing agreements and police budget oversight"

Courtesy of 250News.com:

The Regional District of Fraser Fort George is one of the local governments selected to be part of the first three performance audits by the Auditor General for Local Government.

The planned audit topic for the Regional District of Fraser Fort George is “Achieving value for money in operational procurement”.

Other local governments to be included in this audit are the City of Vernon, Corporation of Delta, City of Revelstoke, Comox Valley Regional Distric and the District of West Vancouver.

The other two topics and the governments that will be audited under those topics are:

Local government performance in managing policing agreements and police budget oversight (Williams Lake, Port Alberni, Surrey, Merritt, Victoria and New Westminster)

Learnings from Local Government Capital Procurement Projects and Asset Management Programs (Cranbrook, Rossland, Sechelt, North Vancouver, Dawson Creek and Campbell River)

The work on these audits is expected to start almost immediately with results to be reported on by the end of March next year.

Two other audit topics have been selected, “Local Governments role in Ensuring Clean Drinking Water” and “Managing the Inherent Risks of Limited Human resources within Small Local Governments” but the local governments that will be examined under those topics have yet to be named. Work on the these two topics will start later this year, and is expected to be completed in August of 2014.
