Public Accounts Committee

Special Report No. 78 of the Comptroller and Auditor General: Matters Arising out of Education Audits (Resumed)

10:40 am

Dr. RuaidhrĂ­ Neavyn:

The Deputy is going into specific detail on elements of the claim. We are looking at elements of overclaim on subsistence

claims and differences between policy and subsistence claims, and that is the detail of the claim we are making. I can reassure the Deputy that we have examined all those areas and categories. We have fully taken on board the appropriate policies and procedures and, as the Deputy said, we are calculating the difference between what a person would be entitled to and the amount for which that person would claim. We are looking for reimbursement of those moneys and that will include areas of subsistence or expenditure in the office that would be in breach of policy and procedure.
