Liberal MLA Hugh MacDonald, who chairs the 17-member, all-party committee, told Sun Media, “I expect they will have some very direct questions” when representatives of the taxpayer-owned bank appear before them on Wednesday.

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.

In the 2006-07 fiscal year, the bank earned a net income of more than $270 million.

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.

MacDonald said he’s also worried about Dunn’s finding that criminal background checks on new employees are taking up to three weeks after they’ve been hired.

ATB, a Crown corporation, has 660,000 customers across Alberta and more than $24 billion in assets.
