I fully concur it must be properly resourced. When we were in office we did not have that number of reports per year that the Comptroller and Auditor General did not complete. The Minister gave an outline of the number that has been reducing over the last years and referred to about 130 matters that the Comptroller and Auditor General would wish to investigate. The note we have on staffing says that the staffing complement sanctioned by public expenditure for 2015 is 164 whole-time equivalents and there are currently 149 staff serving. The Minister said there are eight whole-time equivalents sanctioned.
