Auditor 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.; x1 O1 w: }# l( t* ~

Dunn’s annual report, released last week, said ATB earned a net income of $30 million in the 2007-08 fiscal year, a fraction of its $262 million target.

Dunn said management overrode ATB’s policy that bonuses are tied to achieving or exceeding set targets.5 n! W8 @2 I a& S3 }

The reason given for breaking the rule, Dunn said, was that “staff morale and retention” were at stake.

“If there are no consequences for not achieving objectives, then individuals in GFM are being rewarded for not achieving corporate objectives,” Dunn wrote.

MacDonald said that when a government-owned corporation performs poorly, ultimately it’s taxpayers who suffer.

The whole purpose of bonuses is to motivate people to exceed expectations, he said, and giving bonuses when people fail completely defeats that.( ]7 q2 t" E$ N% M# V" F

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