Inside Access: Fuzzy Finances: Grading The Financial Reports Of Canada’s Municipalities

Description

Conference Call with William Robson, President and Chief Executive Officer, C.D. Howe Institute and Benjamin Dachis, Associate Director, Research, C.D. Howe Institute

In nearly all larger Canadian municipalities, obscure financial reports – notably inconsistent presentations of key numbers in budgets and end-of-year financial statements – hamper city councillors, ratepayers and voters seeking to hold their municipal governments to account. While some municipalities have raised their games in recent years, they all could do more to improve transparency and accountability. Join this call to hear how.

Inside Access is an exclusive, members-only opportunity:

  • 30 minute briefing and Q&A on Institute papers
  • A quick and convenient way to understand why our research is relevant to you, your organization, and the broader economy
  • Free as a member benefit

To register for this call, please contact Robin Ivory at rivory@cdhowe.org or (416) 865-1904 ext. 9998.
