Public Accounts Committee
Special Report No. 91 of the Comptroller and Auditor General: Management of Severance Payments in Public Sector Bodies
1:30 pm
Mr. Seamus McCarthy:
Absolutely. I think the code of practice has been in place since 2001. It was updated in 2009 and again this year. It covers a broad spectrum of issues in relation to the governance and oversight of public bodies. I am sorry if I gave the impression that the code is totally new, because that is not the case. There are new provisions in the revised code. I think many issues have been updated in the code. It is very much extended relative to what it was. I think it might be of use and value to the committee at some stage to be taken through it and to look at certain elements of it.
