Public Accounts Committee

2015 Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 34 - Environment, Community and Local Government

9:00 am

Mr. Seamus McCarthy:

Yes, as the lands were transferring across we queried with the Housing and Sustainable Communities Agency the fact it was not recognising them as assets on its balance sheet at current market value when it acquired them. The agency said that it did not control the lands and, therefore, they were not assets. The agency is holding them in trust for the Department. There is an anomaly there.
