SUMMARY
DESCRIPTION
A government authority in Ontario is seeking a consultant to provide an independent external review of municipal operations, with a focus on financial planning, operating practices, and capital investment priority-setting processes. The engagement is intended to assess current practices and identify opportunities to improve efficiency, cost management, and alignment of expenditures with Council priorities, particularly in the context of declining non-tax revenues.
The review will examine financial planning and fiscal sustainability, governance and transparency, and the adequacy of multi-year financial planning assumptions, including revenue projections, cost escalation, and scenario modeling. It will also assess reserve and surplus management, revenue diversification efforts, budget-to-actual reporting practices, and whether material financial variances are identified and addressed in a timely manner.
In addition, the consultant will evaluate whether the current organizational structure and departmental reporting lines support efficient, accountable service delivery. The contract term is expected to be one year.
