Auditor General Ken Hughes will need to put off a couple of other projects in order to audit OC Transpo in the new year.

The City of Ottawa's Auditor General will not be taking a closer look at the rollout of light rail transit, but he will be investigating the way OC Transpo lays out its schedules and plans its system.

It was decided at the city's Audit Committee meeting Tuesday, that Auditor General Ken Hughes will add an audit of OC Transpo Demand Forecasting and Scheduling to his work plan for 2020.

With that decision, Hughes' office will be forced to defer two other audits for next year, including an audit of the city's IT hardware and asset management, as well as an audit of the P-card Payment system.

The Auditor General's work plan passed unanimously by the committee.
