Public Accounts Committee

HSE Financial Statement 2015

Mr. Tony O'Brien:

These are the standard rankings used in all of our internal audit reports. The aim of internal audit, obviously, is to provide remedial recommendations and also to identify what lessons might be generalisable and what can be gained from this internal audit process that could influence our practice more generally. Therefore, there are some recommendations there which are specific and are fed now into the annual compliance programme which is undertaken by our compliance office. In every audit, whatever it might, however large or however small, there are always findings which lead to the question, "Do we need to look to see what in our systems can be improved in light of the knowledge that we now have?", and that is what is called systemic or systematic.
