AUDITOR GENERAL FOR LOCAL GOVERNMENT
December 18th, 2020
City of Victoria, Johnson Street Bridge Audit
WHAT IS THE AGLG
The Auditor General for Local Government (AGLG) is an independent office that was
established by legislation to conduct performance audits of local governments to assist in
their accountability to communities.
WHAT WAS PLANNED
This performance audit was on the topic, “Local Government’s Capital Project
Management.”
The audit set out to examine the local government’s capital project management practices
for the Johnson Street Bridge replacement project.
WHY IS THE AGLG NOT COMPLETING THIS AUDIT
The completion of the City of Victoria audit has been negatively impacted by the Covid-19
Pandemic.
PHO travel and other health directives have restricted the AGLG’s ability to complete the
audit using its normal audit procedures.
The AGLG Office will close in 2021 and is unable to complete this audit before that time.
ARE THERE TOOLS AVAILABLE TO ASSIST LOCAL GOVERMENTS ON CAPITAL
PROJECT MANAGEMENT?
The AGLG recently completed audits on capital project management for two local
governments (Township of Langley and District of Mackenzie) and previously released
reports on the related topics of capital procurement and asset management.
The office also recently released an AGLG Perspectives Series booklet on capital project
management.
