VANCOUVER– Premier Christy Clark today announced British Columbia’s first auditor general
for local government (AGLG).
“As we work to make life more
affordable for B.C. families, we have to keep in mind there is only one
taxpayer. At every level of government we need to find new and innovative ways
to make sure British Columbians are getting the best value for their money,”
said Premier Christy Clark. “That is why I am proud to announce that Basia Ruta
will become B.C.’s first auditor general for local government.”
Originally suggested by B.C.
business groups and championed by Premier Clark, the AGLG will conduct
performance audits of local government services and provide recommendations
about how to find efficiencies and improve the effectiveness of operations.
“The AGLG will help local
governments identify the most efficient and effective ways to address the
priorities that are important to B.C. communities and will bring greater
affordability for families,” said Minister of Community, Sport and Cultural
Development Bill Bennett “I look forward to seeing the benefits the AGLG will
bring to communities throughout the province.”
Ruta
is a chartered accountant and has extensive experience working in the federal
Office of the Auditor General, Canada Customs and Revenue Agency, and as
Environment Canada’s chief financial officer. She has over 30 years’ experience
in both the public and private sectors, and has valuable knowledge of local and
regional governance gained in part by conducting audits of local government,
hospital and community organizations. She also has significant expertise in
managing transitions and in performance measurement.
“We
welcome today’s announcement that Ms. Ruta has been appointed as the first
auditor general for local government,” said Mayor Mary Sjostrom of the City of
Quesnel and UBCM president. “We look forward to a constructive working relationship
with Ms. Ruta.”
