The Auditor General of Ontario won't be conducting a value-for-money audit of the NPCA.
The Niagara Peninsula Conservation Authority board voted in April to call in the Auditor General, after concerns were raised that a request for proposal process to hire a consultant had been corrupted.
Sandy Annunziata, the Chair of the NPCA Board of Directors, says "we are disappointed the Board's motion could not be accommodated."
The Board says it will now turn its attention to conducting additional audits beyond their annual financial audits.
A value-for-money audit would see the Auditor General determine if taxpayers have received value for their tax dollars
The NPCA receives four per cent of its budget from the Province of Ontario.
