Inside Access: Show Us the Numbers - Grading the Financial Reports of Canada's Municipalities
Exclusive Members Only call with authors Bill Robson and Farah Omran
Municipal budgeting in Canada is bad. Most major cities produce budgets that omit key activities, treat operating and capital expenditures inconsistently and are impossible to reconcile with their audited financial statements. Worse, city councils often vote budgets after the fiscal year has already started. Some straightforward improvements would produce budgets that councillors and taxpayers could understand and use to hold their cities accountable for their use of public funds. Join authors Bill Robson, President and CEO of the C.D. Howe Institute and Farah Omran, Junior Policy Analyst at the C.D. Howe Institute, as they discuss this.
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
