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.

Liberal 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.( q# Z+ r( _, ] E) f' b7 P: s: N
( _- e% h5 [; a7 Q; A, z/ N; o2 vAuditor 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.

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.

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.

The reason given for breaking the rule, Dunn said, was that “staff morale and retention” were at stake.9 ]0 N5 r+ m. v( L8 q7 d' L( m. f4 v

ATB’s global financial markets department was dealing heavily in the paper at the time the market went south.

The whole purpose of bonuses is to motivate people to exceed expectations, he said, and giving bonuses when people fail completely defeats that.
