Public Accounts Committee

Report of Comptroller and Auditor General 2016
Chapter 19 - Management and Oversight of Grants to Health Agencies

9:00 am

Mr. Tony O'Brien:

Yes, I have been having discussions recently about what we would do with regard to some of the audit recommendations that are growing too old and whether a similar process might be applied. By and large, and Michael Flynn referred to this, there is approximately 80% compliance with the recommendations. We have some tolerance because some of them simply take longer to fix. However, if we get to a point that we get an assurance that an audit recommendation has been complied with and subsequently find that it has not been complied with, that will have a financial consequence. We have not moved to that stage yet.
