Public Accounts Committee
National University of Ireland Galway: Financial Statement 2013-2014
9:00 am
Ms Mary Dooley:
Sampling. So, for example, our internal audit service does a standard sampling. We have a special service provided to us that we have procured to do a special sampling on procurement. The Comptroller and Auditor General samples procurement. We have our own external auditors. The auditors to the governing authority sample procurement. We are audited by every research body in the country and internationally, and every individual research contract is audited when we send in a cost statement. All of those auditors look at procurement issues. I cannot say that we are 90% compliant or 99% compliant. We monitor breaches of compliance. The sampling looks for breaches of compliance and we address them when we see them.
