Город Лэнгли нанял консультантов для независимого аудита эффективности работы администрации

City hires consultant for ‘efficiency and effectiveness’ review Published 3:00 pm Monday, August 24, 2026 Langley City Mayor Nathan Pachal said a just-announced external efficiency and effectiveness review “isn’t about laying people off or reducing service.” “We need to increase our service levels,” Pachal commented. “The review is about ensuring we have the structure and processes in place to manage the City well over the next decade and to ensure every nickel of taxpayer money is used as effectively as possible,” Pachal said. Council has hired an outside consultant, MNP LLP, to carry out the review. In the Aug. 11 announcement, the City said MNP will examine services, processes, and ways of working to identify opportunities to strengthen coordination, reduce bottlenecks, improve service delivery, and leverage technology to make the best use of available resources. Pachal said City has completed internal efficiency reviews before, but has never had an external efficiency and effectiveness review. “With any organization, it is always good to have a fresh set of eyes look at how we do things and offer feedback on how we can improve,” Pachal said. City Chief Administrative Officer Francis Cheung said the external review “will provide an independent perspective on how we can improve processes, better support our employees, and continue delivering high quality services for the citizens of Langley City.” Cheung noted that MNP has extensive experience conducting similar reviews for municipalities across British Columbia. MNP LLP is one of the largest chartered professional accountancy and business advisory firms in Canada, with more than 120 offices, and 8,000 employees, making it the third-largest professional services firm in the country by headcount. Their final report is expected to be presented to Council in fall 2026.
