Manitoba's auditor General has released details on the Provincial Government's Financial Statements and cyber security.
Auditor General Tyson Shtykalo's first report notes that Manitoba Shared Health has a process to respond to cyberattacks but has not been running tests for ransomware or data theft scenarios.
Such digital attacks can steal information, or hold access to that information hostage until a payment is made.
The second report looked at the provincial government's financial report for the 2023-24 fiscal year, which included a deficit of just under $2 billion.
The report said there were unprecedented errors in the financial information prepared for the audit, which needed correcting.
The government pointed to a lack of trained finance professionals through a loss of senior staff members.
