Summary#

Calgary City Council approved the City Auditor’s Office 2nd Quarter 2026 Report for the City’s records on July 28, 2026. The decision records receipt of the report; it does not change the City Auditor’s powers or direct new work.

• The City Auditor already has to report quarterly to the Audit Committee under Bylaw 30M2004. Council’s decision was to receive this quarter’s report for the record.

What it means for you#

• Calgarians: The decision does not create a new service or change residents’ rights or obligations. City staff say the Auditor’s Office provides independent audit, advisory and investigative services intended to add value to the City and enhance public trust.
• City Auditor’s Office: The office’s existing quarterly reporting requirement remains in place. Council did not approve a new audit plan or direct specific follow-up in this decision.
