Edmonton — Alberta Treasury Branch officials will have to explain why more than $26 million in bonuses were handed out to staff after a year of dismal performance last year, says the head of the province’s public accounts committee.

( I: o8 k! n# g3 I7 G) bLiberal MLA Hugh MacDonald, who chairs the 17-member, all-party committee, told Sun Media, “I expect they will have some very direct questions” when representatives of the taxpayer-owned bank appear before them on Wednesday.

" N3 m: A% ]) {* {! PAuditor General Fred Dunn questioned the massive bonuses, given that the bank fell short of its net income goal by nearly 90% in the 2007-08 year.

In the 2006-07 fiscal year, the bank earned a net income of more than $270 million.

Dunn said management overrode ATB’s policy that bonuses are tied to achieving or exceeding set targets.

“We have to make sure our state-owned bank is managed in an efficient and prudent way,” MacDonald said.

MacDonald said he’s also worried about Dunn’s finding that criminal background checks on new employees are taking up to three weeks after they’ve been hired.
