They found 490 incidents of fraud reported last year, with 64 percent related to cheque fraud and 26 percent were clients receiving support under false pretenses
Yesterday, Auditor General Denise Hanrahan tabled a report on government spending last year and it contains 132 recommendations, but 57 of those are old. She says this report has two chapters, one focusing on financial audit results and the other deals with the financial health of the province. Hanrahan says 74 percent of them really impact five entities; NL Health Services, MUN, the French School Board, NL Housing Corporation, and Pippy Park. They found 490 incidents of fraud reported last year, with 64 percent related to cheque fraud and 26 percent were clients receiving support under false pretenses.
Hanrahan says “the way the province manages its financial and operational responsibilities is critical to Newfoundlanders and Labradorians.” She says it is very concerning that 19 percent of the 57 recommendations from last year are more than two years outstanding.
2025 marked the province’s 31st unqualified audit opinion on its financial statements.
