Reporting
The Bureau du vérificateur général makes a point of being responsive to citizens who wish to bring to its attention observations that could be the subject of an audit.
Please note that for any request for information or to report a dangerous situation requiring the intervention of the Ville de Montréal, you must contact the 311 service.
You can file a reporting if you have witnessed a situation that contravenes to the policies and directives within the municipal administration, a department or an agency that falls within the jurisdiction of the Bureau du vérificateur général.
The process is confidential, and all information that you provide is protected under the Act respecting Access to documents held by public bodies and the Protection of personal information.
Here are the categories of complaints we can handle:
- Management of funds: irregularities, improper use, misappropriation
- Misuse of goods, resources, files or time
- Fraud
- Falsification, unauthorized manipulation or destruction of documents, data, or information
In addition to the Bureau du vérificateur général, other authorities at the Ville de Montréal handle complaints. It is important to draw a distinction between the role each plays, especially when determining where to file a complaint.
