Auditor General’s report shows progress on the implementation of performance report recommendations

FREDERICTON (GNB) - In his report tabled today at the legislative assembly, Auditor General Paul Martin discussed the implementation rates of recommendations pertaining to prior years’ performance reports.

“This report is a tool for the Public Accounts Committee and the public to hold government accountable for acting on our recommendations,” said Martin.

This year’s report includes follow up on performance report recommendations from 2021 to 2023.

Martin was “pleased to see that departments have implemented 100 percent of the 2021 recommendations and 83 percent of the 2022 recommendations.”

However, only 32 percent of the 2023 recommendations have been implemented and Martin said, “As many of the outstanding recommendations relate to emergency response preparation, we will continue to follow up to ensure our recommendations are adopted”.
