Summary
We completed our assessment of implementation of a recommendation from our July 2014 audit of Results Analysis Reporting, which was repeated in our August 2019 Reporting Performance Results to Albertans Followup.
In 2014, we examined the quality of overall results analysis information publicly reported to Albertans through ministry annual reports. We found ministry management provided limited information on results in annual reports.
The Department of Treasury Board and Finance has informed us that it will not be implementing our recommended compliance monitoring process. It indicated that there is no current government directive to monitor whether ministries are complying with reporting standards. The department further states it doesn’t have the authority to monitor ministries’ compliance with reporting standards.
NOT IMPLEMENTED Recommendation: Improve ministry results analysis reporting
