As the city filed it

Compliance with Government Auditing Standards is an important component of audit quality and is critical in maintaining credibility with City Council, management and taxpayers. Government Auditing Standards require that audit organizations performing audits in accordance with Generally Accepted Government Auditing Standards undergo an external peer review every three years. Chapter 3 of the Toronto Municipal Code also requires that the "Auditor General shall undergo an external peer review once every three years to ensure compliance with government auditing standards" and that "the results of the external peer review shall be reported to Council through the Audit Committee".
