According to the Canadian Press a report on CBC Radio says that the Department of Canadian Heritage is hiring an auditor to check over the books of the Vancouver 2010 Organizing Committee.
CBC Radio reports that a call for tenders was issued to provide the federal department with assurances about Vancouver 2010’s management’s preparations for the 2010 Winter Olympic Games. The audit will check management controls, risk-management frameworks and the overall governance structure.
VANOC spokeswoman Renee Smith-Valade reportedly denies it shows a lack of confidence, saying it would be “good information” for taxpayers about how their money is being spent.
