It is normal practice that we invite the Accounting Officer but given the increasing importance of corporate governance and the role of a chairman in signing off on the code of practice for the governance of State bodies, it may be appropriate to also call in the chairperson. If that is agreeable to the committee, in future for organisations like the one appearing today, we will invite both the Accounting Officer and chairperson.
