Canada’s auditor general recently fired and called in police to investigate two employees who had been privately earning money from government contracts they had not declared.

In a statement to National Post this week, the Office of the Auditor General (OAG) said it is still investigating a third employee that it also discovered had contracts with another arm of the federal government the employee had not disclosed to their employer.

She said both cases were also referred to the Ottawa Police Service in early February because government directives dictate that “security events that could potentially be related to criminal activity be referred to law enforcement.”

She noted that it is “essential” for public servants to disclose any secondary source of income to their managers so they can assess whether there is a conflict of interest, but that doesn’t always happen.

That’s when she first revealed that her office had recently discovered “incidents where disclosure did not happen” among its own employees.
