Why is this story here?
RoutineThis is a routine compliance audit report on the Auditor General's Office financial statements for a completed fiscal year. It discloses what already happened; no substantive decision is made, no policy changes, no resource reallocation. The city's accounting outcome (a $1.7 billion surplus) is a past fact being reported, not a future commitment or reversal.Invisible to residentsThe audit of the Auditor General's Office internal compliance is administrative. A resident does not encounter or experience this in their daily life. The financial aggregates mentioned (operating surplus, capital additions) are citywide accounting facts, not decisions that alter services, cost, or access for any resident group.

Stories are ordered by how much weight a decision carries and how directly it reaches daily life. They rise as a decision date approaches and fall as they age.
