A report from New Brunswick Auditor General Paul Martin highlighted a laundry list of issues his office found with the grant program under the provincial Tourism Department.
Martin’s report, released on Tuesday, found it was hard to find public information about grant programs. The report also found that the success of these programs was not tracked and monitoring was limited once grants were awarded.
“Our audit work concluded that the Department of Tourism, Heritage and Culture does not have sufficient processes in place to ensure responsible investment and achievement of outcomes,” the report said.
Grant programs are government-run programs where both non-profit and for-profit organizations can apply for funding through a formalized process.
