Public Accounts Committee

Financial Statements 2016: Higher Education Authority, University College Cork and Cork Institute of Technology

9:00 am

Mr. Paul Gallagher:

We also have an audit and risk committee. The financial statements are approved through the audit and risk committee, on which there is financial expertise. We separated it out to ensure the audit and risk committee had a wider remit. We have a finance committee which is largely procedural, but all of the financial statements and so forth go through the audit and risk committee. The new code of governance requires that we conduct a matrix of skills analysis in the governing body. When it comes to nominations to that body, we have a hand in pointing to skills deficits.
