Public Accounts Committee
Public Service Agreement 2010-14: Discussion with Implementation Body
12:00 pm
Mr. P. J. Fitzpatrick:
No. We select the number of projects before we do the review. We published that this year with the review. It is a separate report. This one was done by Grant Thornton. Last year it was done by MKO accountants. It is not an audit in the conventional sense. It is more of a verification. I say that because I would not like to mislead anyone, but it is a verification. In any event, Departments' and agencies' budgets have been reduced and they have to do a lot of this stuff to cope with their reduced budgets.
