Training
Training for members of elected councils and employees of the City and its related legal persons under the mandate given by the legislator in section 57.1.8 of the Charter of Ville de Montréal, metropolis of Québec.
To prevent breaches of integrity and enforce the applicable rules, the Office of Inspector General is continually developing a series of training courses that are offered to the employees and elected officials of Ville de Montréal and its related legal persons.
The training is intended to allow stakeholders in the City and para-municipal organizations to identify, detect and prevent breaches that affect the integrity of the contracting processes and to understand the role of the Inspector General in this regard.
More specifically, these courses are intended for managers and employees who work for Ville de Montréal and its related legal persons and who are responsible for drafting tender documents, awarding contracts and overseeing the performance of contracts.
These courses help restore public confidence in municipal institutions by preventing the risk of integrity breaches.
