Public Accounts Committee

2012 Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Financial Statements 2012: Irish Sports Council

10:40 am

Mr. John Treacy:

The code is about putting parameters in place. The proposal would consider funding bodies around common governance and best practice parameters around leadership. This would be the leadership of the organisation, the chief executives, the board, the structure of the board and how it is led, the control mechanisms it has in place, the accountability it has in place, the effectiveness of the organisation, and the transparency and the integrity of that organisation. We are just starting the process with the organisations. We will issue a questionnaire to those governing bodies of sport and give them a checklist. They will come back with a self-assessment around how they are doing in terms of the various parameters.
