‘Numerous failure controls’ and ‘non-compliance’ — what the audit of Conestoga College found that prompted the province to take it over

Conestoga College handed out pay raises with no justification, awarded contracts to higher bidders without explanation, allowed an executive to take part in recruiting their daughter into a management position, and had such poor oversight of procurements and purchase orders that one for $11,000 was recorded at $126 billion — and no one noticed.

These are among the damning details contained in a recent, confidential two-part audit of the Kitchener-area college that rates the school as “high” risk, according to executive summaries obtained by the Star.


The foreign student program was pure gangsterism made for Conestoga.
