In accordance with the Local Government Act and the auditing rule, the Audit Committee and an Auditor appointed by the Council for its term of office are responsible for external auditing. The city’s own external auditing unit is part of the independent external auditing system. The unit works under the authority of the local authority audit committee.  

The local authority audit committee

The local authority audit committee is a statutory body and directly liable to the city council. The audit committee prepares matters regarding administration and finances for the decision of the city council (chapter 14).  

Audit Committee’s assessment reports

The local authority audit committee submits to the city council an assessment report on each year, in which the assessment results shall be presented. An assessment report assesses the extent to which the operating and financial targets set by the city council have been achieved in the municipality and the local authority corporation and whether the activities are arranged in a cost-effective and appropriate manner.
