Senior management expenses

As part of The City’s commitment to an open, transparent and accountable local government we release the Senior Management Expense report twice per year in the spring and fall. It includes line item details, including business travel, meals and hosting, and employee recognition for the Senior Management Team. The Senior Management Team includes the Chief Administrative Officer (CAO), general managers and directors.

Visit The City’s open data portal, Open Calgary for the most recent report.

Budgets for the CAO and each General Manager are reviewed and approved annually by City Council as part of budget deliberations.

Financial policy governing expenses

The City of Calgary policy - FA-010 Accounts Payable and Supporting Procedures for Reimbursement of Employee Business Expense outlines what expenses are allowed and the approval process to be followed. No employee can approve their own expenses. Each individual's expenses are reviewed for appropriateness and accuracy by their supervising authority. The CAO reviews each General Manager's expenses and the Mayor reviews the CAO's expenses.
