5 i4 \. W. j4 W1 E) S; A' h- xEdmonton — Alberta Treasury Branch officials will have to explain why more than $26 million in bonuses were handed out to staff after a year of dismal performance last year, says the head of the province’s public accounts committee.

Auditor General Fred Dunn questioned the massive bonuses, given that the bank fell short of its net income goal by nearly 90% in the 2007-08 year.

Dunn’s annual report, released last week, said ATB earned a net income of $30 million in the 2007-08 fiscal year, a fraction of its $262 million target.

The reason given for breaking the rule, Dunn said, was that “staff morale and retention” were at stake.

The whole purpose of bonuses is to motivate people to exceed expectations, he said, and giving bonuses when people fail completely defeats that.
