Compliance Audit Committee

2026-2030 Council Term Board & Committee  

For the 2026 municipal election, the Township of Scugog has partnered with the Township of Brock and Township of Uxbridge to form a Joint Compliance Audit Committee. The committee will serve for the upcoming term of Council from November 15, 2026 to November 14, 2030. 

The Joint Compliance Audit Committee (JCAC) reviews and considers compliance audit applications submitted by an elector who believes that a candidate or registered third party advertiser has contravened a provision of the Municipal Elections Act (MEA) relating to election campaign finances. The JCAC is also responsible for reviewing reports submitted by the Town Clerk with respect to any contributor who appears to have contravened any of the contribution limits to a candidates’ election campaign or to a registered third-party advertiser. The Committee has the authority to:

• Grant or reject a compliance audit application;
• Appoint an auditor to conduct the audit where the application is granted;
• Consider the auditor’s or Clerk’s report within 30 days of receiving it; and
• Decide whether to commence legal proceedings against the candidate, a contributor or registered third party for any apparent contravention.
