Bruce County Joint Compliance Audit Committee
A Joint Compliance Audit Committees (JCAC) for the lower-tier municipalities of Arran-Elderslie, Brockton, Huron-Kinloss, Kincardine, Northern Bruce Peninsula, South Bruce, and Saugeen Shores is being created. A pool of JCAC members is being created who may be called upon to act for any of the member municipalities.
About the Committee:
The Compliance Audit Committee is an independent committee required under Ontario’s Municipal Elections Act, 1996. Its role is to help make sure campaign finance rules are followed during municipal and school board elections.
If a voter believes a candidate or registered third party may not have followed the election finance rules, they can apply for a compliance audit. The Committee reviews these applications and decides whether an audit should take place.
If an audit is approved, an independent auditor examines the campaign’s financial records. The Committee then reviews the auditor’s report and decides whether any further action is needed.
This process supports fairness, transparency, and accountability, and helps maintain public confidence in the municipal and school board election system.
