Chong said local government representatives have seen the enabling legislation and now understand that the auditor will be independent of the B.C. government and its recommendations will not be binding. While some municipal leaders were suspicious, one the early advocates of the new office was Saanich Mayor Frank Leonard. He said he learned the value of performance audits before entering politics, when he ran three tire stores that are part of a national chain of 300 outlets. Auditors were able to answer questions such as “why were my fleet costs in Langford so much higher than what it was in West Kelowna?” Leonard said. The audit committee is chaired by Anthony Ariganello, president of the Certified General Accountants Association of Canada. Other members are Rick Heney, a Kamloops lawyer; Donalda MacDonald, a vicepresident of Westminster Savings Credit Union; Lisa Payne, chief operating officer for software maker Colligo Networks; and Tim Wood, former municipal administrator for Saanich, Penticton and Cranbrook. According to a ministry statement, the audit council will ensure the independence of the auditor general, and is “responsible for monitoring the performance of the AGLG by reviewing and providing comments on performance audits, annual reports and service plans.” Wood retires as Saanich’s chief administrator on May 31. He will be replaced by current finance director Paul Murray. -With files from Tom Fletcher kslavin@saanichnews.com
