Auditor General’s 2019 Status Report on Outstanding Audit Recommendations for Divisions in Community and Social Services and the City Manager’s Office

In response to a motion adopted by the Audit Committee at its July 4, 2016 meeting, we also include information on the potential cost savings from the outstanding audit recommendations. Our 2019 follow-up review included 38 outstanding recommendations in audit reports for the following six City divisions: - City Manager's Office - Parks, Forestry and Recreation - People, Equity and Human Rights - Shelter, Support and Housing Administration - Social Development, Finance and Administration - Toronto Paramedic Services As of December 31, 2017, there were 12 audit reports to divisions in Community and Social Services and the City Manager's Office with 38 outstanding recommendations. Among the 38 recommendations, our review verified that nine recommendations (24 per cent) have been fully implemented, 28 recommendations (74 per cent) have been partially implemented and one recommendation (2 per cent) is no longer applicable. Continued efforts to implement outstanding recommendations will provide additional benefits to the City such as cost savings, improved controls, and enhanced service delivery. We express our appreciation for the co-operation and assistance we received from management and staff during this year's follow-up review process.
