Auditor General Launches Awareness Campaign for the City's Fraud and Waste Hotline

Today, the Office of the Auditor General of the City of Ottawa launched a new campaign to help raise awareness about the City's Fraud and Waste Hotline. The Hotline is an important tool that allows City employees and members of the public to confidentially and anonymously report suspected fraud, waste, or serious wrongdoing involving City personnel, resources, operations, or vendors. The Hotline helps strengthen the City’s commitment to honesty and integrity.  

With March being Fraud Prevention Month, this is a great opportunity to highlight how both City employees and members of the public can help protect public resources. On March 31st, the Office of the Auditor General will table the 2025 Report on the Fraud and Waste Hotline at Audit Committee.  

We are thankful to the individuals who have come forward to raise concerns as each report helps strengthen the City’s commitment to honesty and integrity.
