OLG accepts audit recommendations; will add backups, MFA and user‑access documentation
Summary
Responding to the annual comprehensive financial report, OLG told the committee it has accepted ACFRA recommendations on internal controls for its internal control system (ICS) and plans added backup/restore testing, disaster recovery checks, multifactor authentication and documented user‑access reviews.
Committee members reviewed ACFRA findings about OLG’s internal control system (ICS). Randy Burnside said the agency accepted the auditor’s recommendations and is implementing additional security and governance steps.
Burnside told the committee OLG already runs parallel ICS systems and that central gaming system backups occur twice a year; he said the agency would add an annual disaster‑failover test for ICS and incorporate additional backup procedures. On access controls, Burnside agreed to add multifactor authentication and to document user access authorization and periodic access reviews. He described these findings as non‑critical but useful improvements: "We accept all of those, and we're going to add that extra layer onto our already robust protections for our ICS," Burnside said. The committee requested follow‑up documentation showing completion of the recommended steps.
