Auditor General's 2017 Annual Report Identifies Need for Better Government Planning to Act on Known Issues


TORONTO, Dec. 6, 2017 /CNW/ - The 2017 Annual Report of the Auditor General of Ontario was made public today after it was tabled in the Ontario Legislature.

The Report, presented in two volumes, contains results of value-for-money audits of provincial spending in agriculture, emergency management, energy, health care, education, services for newcomers, government-owned real estate, and social housing.

"A theme that was central to almost all of our audits this year was the need for government to plan better?and sometimes to just have a plan in the first place," Auditor General Bonnie Lysyk said at the release of her Report. "Good planning supports timely and informed decision-making and oversight and can help avoid many of the issues we identified this year."

Volume 1 of the Report contains 14 value-for-money audits. The findings of this year's Report include:

Volume 1 also has chapters on the following:

The audit also highlights a number of areas where things are working well. For example:

Volume 2 contains follow-up reports on the recommendations we made in our audits in 2015. Government ministries and agencies made some progress toward implementing 71% of the actions contained in those recommendations. Also, new this year, in an expanded effort to track the status of our past recommendations, we also revisited recommendations made in our annual reports of 2012, 2013 and 2014. Volume 2 also contains follow-ups on the seven reports issued by the all-party Standing Committee of Public Accounts.
