Compliance Audit Committee

Every candidate and third party advertiser must file a financial statement which reports their contributions and expenses. If you are eligible to vote in the City of Vaughan and believe, on reasonable grounds, that a candidate or a third party advertiser has contravened the election finance rules, you may apply for a compliance audit of the candidate's or third party advertiser's finances.

Applications for a compliance audit must be filed with the City Clerk in writing and must set out the reasons why you believe that the candidate or third party advertiser has contravened the rules.

An application for a compliance audit must be submitted to the City Clerk within 90 days of the filing deadline. The deadline for candidates and third party advertisers to file their financial statements is the last Friday in March following the election, March 29, 2019.

The deadline for a candidate to file a supplementary financial statement is the last Friday in September, September 27, 2019. If a candidate files a supplementary financial statement, an application for a compliance audit may be submitted within 90 days of the supplementary filing deadline.

NOTE: Applications for compliance audits of candidates for a school board must be filed with the secretary of that school board. Please visit the website for the applicable school board for more information.
