JTB – No Evidence of Policy Requiring Board Members to Disclose Conflict of Interests

Auditor General's Findings

The Tourist Board Act outlines the powers of the Board to perform its functions. This should involve the Board establishing a good governance framework to ensure effectiveness in its oversight and strategic management responsibilities, and the institutionalization of ethical standards in the day-to-day operations. Board members were however not required to disclose for record any business or other interest that are likely to create a conflict of interest; this runs contrary to good governance practices.
