The B.C. Auditor General found 61% of the public entities surveyed had been victims of fraud in the past year.
Northern Health was one of 23 B.C. public agencies whose approach to fraud risk management was reviewed by the B.C. Auditor General.
"This shows us how organizations perceive fraud and its impact," said Auditor General Michael Pickup. "All organizations are vulnerable to fraud, but many in the public sector don't appear to be using all available tools to manage the risk. The management at these organizations are responsible for preventing and detecting fraud."
Three quarters reported their risk of physical theft of assets as low, despite nearly half reporting thefts in the past year, the report found.
