The Auditor General for the Halifax Regional Municipality says there's still lots of work left to do as she looks back at her audits from 2019.
Evangeline Colman-Sadd released a follow-up Wednesday morning, looking back at audits on payroll management, the purchasing card program, and roads and sidewalks asset management.
Colman-Sadd said only 63 per cent of recommendations have been put in place:
- Payroll Management – 56% implemented
- Purchasing Card Program – 100% implemented
- Roads and Sidewalks Asset Management – 40% implemented
“Overall, our follow-up of 2019 audits has shown a decline in recommendations implemented over prior years,” she said in a news release. “Management told us COVID-19 was a factor in not completing some of the recommendations.”
“We will continue to follow up on the outstanding recommendations in the future.”
