Reports in progress

We are conducting an audit of the B.C. Institute of Technology’s (BCIT) governance framework for managing cybersecurity risks.

Cybersecurity technology, processes, and practices protect an organization’s networks, devices, and data. Organizations use cybersecurity risk management to identify, assess, and mitigate potential threats to their digital assets. A governance framework sets the foundation for implementing effective cybersecurity risk management.

Our audit will determine whether BCIT established a comprehensive governance framework to manage cybersecurity risks that included: legal requirements, objectives, roles and responsibilities, policies, and performance monitoring.

We plan to release our audit report in early 2026.

We are examining the Province of British Columbia’s role in Lytton’s ongoing recovery from the Lytton Creek wildfire that started on June 30, 2021, and destroyed most of the village. More than 100 properties were lost and 80,000 hectares of land burned. Surrounding communities were also affected.

The Ministry of Emergency Management and Climate Readiness coordinates the provincial response to emergencies and disasters by working with other ministries to help local governments repair and restore affected communities. For example, recovery efforts may support environmental rehabilitation, infrastructure repairs, the return of evacuees, or the reopening of businesses and services.

Our examination focuses on three areas:

• The Province of B.C.’s roles and responsibilities for disaster recovery.
• The Province of B.C.’s support for Lytton, including the funding it contributed.
• The challenges faced in rebuilding Lytton, and the Province of B.C.’s opportunities for improvement.

We expect to issue our report in early 2026.
