Mr. Tom Heffernan:

We have. The group which is a joint group, as referenced by the Comptroller and Auditor General, had its first meeting on the 14th of this month. It agreed its terms of reference which are essentially to review the control and accountability framework for the administering of grants funded by public bodies with particular reference to a number of elements which are the type of ones that are raised in the auditor's recommendations. The group is tasked with making recommendations for revised requirements and guidance by the end of September. The intention would be that following the group's report, amendments to the public financial procedures and additional guidance would issue to public bodies.
