Deloitte has been chosen to perform a forensic audit requested by regional council on the Burgoyne Bridge project. There have been suspicions of criminal activity as the bridge construction has rose significantly in costs from the original $49 million dollars to now $91 million.
Deloitte was hired earlier in the year to conduct a value for money audit on the build that raised questions about the growing cost of the replacement bridge project. Their findings?

Council decided last month to conduct a forensic audit and to ask either the OPP or RCMP to investigate.
