City council will debate options to conduct a performance audit of Winnipeg’s traffic signals branch, after a Free Press series detailed allegations of financial mismanagement.
A new report headed to the executive policy committee calls for council to decide if the acting city auditor should proceed with an audit of the last five years of contracting and procurement activities related to the branch.
If council opts for an external audit on that topic, it’s asked to also approve $166,000 to pay for the work.

City council will debate options to conduct a performance audit of Winnipeg’s traffic signals branch, after a Free Press series detailed allegations of financial mismanagement.
If the city performs the audit, the schedule of other council-approved audits would need to be altered to make time for that work, the report notes.
In September, the city’s auditor reported staff lacked written documentation to justify mass changes to traffic infrastructure and the department lacked an asset management plan.
EPC will consider the report Dec. 7.
