The Municipal Auditor General, Larry Munroe, was hired in September, 2009.

The first responsibility of the Office of the Auditor General (OAG) is to the public. In addition, HRM’s Auditor General provides assistance to Regional Council in holding itself and the Administration accountable for the sound administration of HRM’s financial accounts and transactions and achieving value for money in the operation of the municipality.

As is customary with Offices of the Auditor General, the HRM Auditor General will, on an independent basis, develop and carry out an annual work plan. The reports of the work plan component will be presented to Regional Council at least annually in a public forum.

In order to support the annual work outcomes of the Office of the Auditor General, staff from the Business Systems and Quality Assurance group joined this office on April 1, 2010. Through their work in this division, Cathie Osborne, David Marr, and Sang-gye Buschmann have played significant roles in the ongoing improvement and accountability of HRM's internal service delivery and operations. This wealth of HRM's operational knowledge and experience will contribute significantly to the success of the Office of the Auditor General.
