Public Accounts Committee

Special Report No. 94 of the Comptroller and Auditor General: National Asset Management Agency Sale of Project Eagle (Resumed)

10:00 am

Mr. Brian McEnery:

In truth, the Comptroller and Auditor General has said that. As chairman of the audit committee, I would love to sit down with the Comptroller and Auditor General now and discuss this. Remember, we produced minutes between 2009 and 2016 and our minutes do say that there were discussions around this. However, our minutes are mostly formed on the basis of the decision. The Comptroller and Auditor General, quite frankly, had never questioned our minutes up until the publication of his report. In 2010, 2011, 2012 and 2013, he never said that our minutes were too short. Ultimately, minutes are part of record keeping. We accept that and we record decisions. However, I will gladly take have a discussion with the Comptroller and Auditor General on minute taking into the future. We should have that discussion. He has now said it in his report but he had not said it previously.
