Contract AwardAdministration & FinanceDetected Jun 3, 2026

KPMG presented the 2024 Audit Findings Report and draft consolidated financial statements, and the Treasurer requested Council approval of the 2024 financial statements. An engagement letter dated October 27, 2025 outlines KPMG’s multi-entity audit services for the Township, its trust funds, and the Public Library Board, with base audit fees of $42,785 and future audits planned (2025 audit scheduled to begin June 22, 2026). This confirms KPMG as the incumbent external financial auditor, with a defined fee and ongoing schedule.While this work is decided, the information is valuable for firms tracking audit cycles, potential future RFPs for audit services, and ancillary opportunities such as advisory, internal control reviews, asset retirement obligation studies, and asset management support linked to PSAB compliance.

Council is asked to approve the 2024 audited financial statements; KPMG continues as incumbent auditor for at least 2025.
