We are conducting an audit of how board members are appointed to B.C. public sector organizations.
Crown corporations, health authorities, post-secondary institutions, advisory boards and other public sector agencies manage numerous B.C. government programs and services. Boards help ensure those organizations are properly governed and meet their mandate.
The Crown Agencies and Board Resourcing Office (CABRO) leads the government’s board appointment process. Its role is to recruit board members who are qualified, experienced, and reflect B.C.’s diversity.
CABRO oversees the selection process and recommends candidates to government for appointment.
Our audit will determine whether CABRO provides effective oversight of government’s public sector board appointment process. Key aspects include CABRO’s work to ensure:
- identification of board needs and gaps in competency or diversity;
- conflict of interest mitigation;
- timeliness of board appointments; and
- monitoring and reporting on board member diversity.
We plan to release our audit report in early 2025.
