## Resource

Manitoba’s auditor general just dropped a bombshell: despite a clean audit opinion for 2024-25, financial reporting still riddled with errors — and they’re not going away. The root cause? Departments drowning in daily operations, staff turnover erasing institutional knowledge, and a lack of clear guidance on critical accounting tasks. While the comptroller’s efforts have finally earned a clean bill of health after seven years, the Finance Minister blames past mismanagement, while the opposition says the current government’s inconsistencies are just as bad. The auditor’s 18 recommendations? A lifeline — if the government follows them, it could finally get its books in order and stop the endless cycle of corrections and delays.
