Cases up, costs down: feds report $227.1-million in lost revenue, public money and property in 2021-22The federal government wracked up a total of $227.1-million in lost revenue, public money, and public property due to fraud, accidents, or offences in 2021-22, a 30 per cent decrease from the year prior, according to the 2022 Public Accounts. But while the dollar figure attached to losses has dropped, the number of reported cases has risen. For public property, the number of incidents involving theft, loss, damage, or vandalism are overall up 30.4 per cent, with 18,474 incidents reported in 2021-22 compared to 14,164 the year prior. The total value attached, though, has dropped from $109.3-million in 2020-21 to $62.5-million.

In terms of lost revenue, however, the trend is flipped: 15 fewer cases of fraud or willful misrepresentation were reported in 2021-22 (at 75 total, compared to 90 the year prior), but the total dollars involved rose from $37.5-million in 2020-21 to $39.7-million. That said, the numbers involving lost or damaged public property are expected to change after The Hill Times flagged odd numbers listed for Natural Resources Canada. Specifically, one case involving a computer, tablet, or laptop was reported, valued at $1; two cases related to informatics, electronic equipment, or other telecommunications were valued at $2; and three cases involving machinery, equipment, furniture, and furnishings were noted, valued at $3.
