In Canada, the audit of public accounts is performed through the general auditing function. While the latter has long existed in the parliamentary system, it has only been enforced in major Quebec cities since the early 2000s. This article proposes to revisit the implementation of this new municipal role in light of the main challenges to general auditing already identified in the literature. Those challenges particularly concern its raison d’être, independence, and autonomy. The question is therefore whether, by being introduced to the municipal level, general auditing has encountered new issues or rather brought ambiguities already identified elsewhere. Based on a documentary analysis, the review of municipal practices, particularly in the cities of Gatineau, Saguenay, and Trois-Rivières, provides a mixed answer. On the one hand, ambiguities about the very nature of general auditing now arise in cities as they did in other parliamentary contexts. On the other hand, since the rules of the game of bipartisan parliamentarism do not fully apply in the municipalities under study, the relationship between the mayor and the city general auditor is central—reflecting a Quebec local political system that is mayor-centric.
