The Comptroller and Auditor General reports every year. If the Deputy looks at the number of reports produced he will see there has been a falling away from when it was at its peak. There were 55 reports published in 2009. In 2010 there were 54 published, in 2011 there were 50 published, in 2012 there were 31 published, in 2013 there were 30 published and in 2014 there were 25. The Comptroller and Auditor General has identified over 130 matters which warrant additional examination outside the financial audit affray. In addition, it is necessary that the office has sufficient resources to respond in a timely manner to emerging issues such as those raised by whistleblowers.
