Sections 177 through 182 of the City of Toronto Act, 2006 require the City to appoint an Auditor General and specify powers and duties of the Auditor General. Under the Act the Auditor General is responsible for assisting City Council in holding itself and City administrators accountable for the quality of stewardship over public funds and for achievement of value for money in City operations.

The Auditor General oversees the work of the external auditor and manages the process for awarding the contract for the
    City's external audit. The City of Toronto Act, 2006 requires that the financial statement/attest audit of the City and its agencies, boards and commissions be carried out by an external auditor who is not an employee of the City.

An Internal Audit group, reporting to the City Manager, has also been established as a resource to senior management providing impartial and objective assurance and consulting activities designed to add value and improve operations.
