Our audit objective was to assess whether the Government of Alberta’s recruitment, screening, selection, and appointment processes, as described in the Guidebook for Appointments to Alberta’s Public Agencies, have been implemented and are operating effectively and efficiently.
Conclusion
We conclude that Government of Alberta departments and agencies implemented the processes described in the Guidebook for Appointments to Alberta’s Public Agencies. We also conclude that those processes did not consistently operate effectively and efficiently.
