Document Dump
This document dump is in 6 parts below.
This is only the first 600 pages of an estimated 12,000 pages.
Points of Significance:
- The City Auditor works for Edmonton City Council. They report directly to Council. Their work must not be interfered with.
- The auditor protects our city from corruption and theft of taxpayer money.
- In this FOIP there are copies of draft audits from the City Auditor.
- These draft audits contain financial information, which is different from the final public audit given to City Council.
- In this FOIP, there is documented evidence that audits are being changed and edited by members of our Executive Leadership Team.
- A chain of emails highlights that senior leadership has been given opportunities to provide edits and changes to the audit. This is highly suggestive of collusion.
- This does not appear to be in accordance with the international standards for the professional practice of internal auditing.
- This is not just language being changed. Numbers have been changed. Recommendations have been removed. Entire sections have been removed, including on the Blatchford development report.
- For example, there is a discrepancy of over $1m dollars between the two audits in regards to road sanding.
- In another example, the draft audit shows consulting services for $97m and the final audit, it shows $87m, a discrepancy of $10m.
- In this FOIP, it shows 3 recommendations for the Edmonton Waste Management Centre in the draft audit, with only 1 recommendation making it to the public audit.
- There is also a discrepancy with the amount of invoices paid
- This information is also heavily redacted.
