Summary#

Calgary City Council approved the 2025 External Auditor Management Letter item on the consent agenda on June 30, 2026. Council received the report and attachment for the City’s Corporate Record; the Audit Committee also requested an update on the recommendations’ implementation status at its January 2027 meeting.
