Our financial statements are audited by a chartered professional accounting firm.
They are prepared in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles for local governments as recommended by the Public Sector Accounting Board of the Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants.
Note: Financial statements are available here after they have been accepted by the Audit Committee and Council, which typically happens during the summer months following year-end.
