The City of Toronto is spending millions of dollars on software that is never used, or is underused, according to a new report from the city’s auditor general.

The Dec. 2 audit by Tara Anderson looked at the cost of seven software applications used across Toronto. It found the city spent $10,983,716 on unused licences or underutilized software for five of the applications.
