Billions: B.C. auditor highlights costs of 2021 disasters, pandemic relief payments
An annual report from British Columbia’s auditor general says the province is owed millions by people who were ineligible for COVID-19 relief grants and that the government will spend billions on recent weather-related disasters.
The audit released Tuesday also shows the province is trying to recover nearly $10.5 million from more than 10,000 people who weren’t eligible to receive $1,000 pandemic relief grants because they hadn’t filed a 2019 tax return in B.C. He is the fourth consecutive auditor general to raise the concern that B.C. isn’t following generally accepted accounting standards in some areas of its financial reporting, Pickup told a news conference on Tuesday.
Changing that approach could mislead the public to believe there’s more money in the province’s coffers than is immediately available, the ministry has said.
