Auditors Find No Evidence of Township of Langley Non-compliance

The Township of Langley’s auditors, KPMG, informed Township Council on February 9, 2026, that they had received a formal complaint pursuant to Section 172 of the Community Charter, alleging, in part the following:

1. The Township of Langley is not in compliance with BC Regulation 254/2004, section 3(e); and
2. The Township of Langley has materially misstated its borrowing and is in breach of section 179 of the Community Charter.

On April 13, 2026, following a review of the allegations in the formal complaint, the auditors reported to Township Council that, based on the work performed, they did not identify any evidence of non-compliance with the Township’s liability servicing limit requirements.

KPMG further confirmed:

“Based on our work performed, we did not find evidence that the Township is non-compliant with its liability servicing limit requirements. No loan guarantees, whether gross or net, are included in the Certificate calculations as management has represented there are no loan guarantees made by the Township.”

For context, BC Regulation 254/2004 is the Municipal Liabilities Regulation. Section 3(e) of the Regulation is in relation to
annual costs of servicing the aggregate liabilities, in this instance, loan guarantees.

Section 179 of the Community Charter provides council with the authority to incur a liability by borrowing for specific 
purposes, by a loan authorization bylaw which must be approved by the inspector.
