Auditor General Denise Hanrahan has “serious concerns with the Department of Fisheries, Forestry and Agriculture’s ability to effectively manage Crown lands' administration. Hanrahan delivered a performance audit to the House of Assembly on the matter. The report contains findings and recommendations regarding systematic issues, insufficient policies and procedures, as well as confusion about complaints management, enforcement, and inspection processes. Hanrahan says first they found issue with the lands management system. She says there was virtually no complaint handling, with 2 out of three remaining untouched. There was no evidence of enforcement and some fee issues. Hanrahan says while it can’t be proven, fraud could have happened. She says an audit of this department has not been done since 2009.
