Municipal Accountability Program
The Municipal Accountability Program (MAP) Audit is a provincial initiative introduced by Alberta Municipal Affairs in 2018 to support municipalities with populations under 5,000. The program provides a comprehensive review of bylaws, policies, and practices to ensure compliance with the Municipal Government Act and promote strong local governance.
This audit is a valuable tool for municipalities, offering expert guidance and recommendations to strengthen operations, enhance transparency, and support elected officials and staff.
