High praise from Nova Scotia’s Auditor General.
Kim Adair says the province has boosted it’s three-year average of completing recommendations from 60 to 80 percent.
She says that includes 100 percent of recommendations from audits done in 2021.
“Including the audit of the pre-primary program, and others done on internet for Nova Scotia, COVID-19 spending programs, and the Nova Scotia Liquor Corporation,” said Adair.
Adair adds it’s the first time in the history of follow-up reports that government has achieved a perfect score in a single year.
“The government’s commitment to carrying out the recommendations shows it values the work and the recommendations made by the Office,” Adair said.
But there is a low-point, the 2019 audit of bridge projects in central and western districts.
She encourages government to act on them, as they’ve only completed two in the last five years.
Auditor General Kim Adair reports that @nsgov has completed so many recommendations from past performance audits that it’s hoisted its three-year rolling average from 60 to 80 per cent.
