Public Accounts Committee

2017 Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 13 - Office of Public Works
Chapter 6: Lease of Offices at Miesian Plaza

9:00 am

Mr. Maurice Buckley:

The lack of a sophisticated register of contracts, beyond property but including property, is the subject of a well-known action that the OPW needs to take. This has been the case for some time. The management board, in addressing that, is now at the point of completing that piece of work and putting in a contracts register. We are also, as I mentioned in my opening statement, putting in an entire estate management system, which is a very sophisticated piece of software that involves the approval of the Office of the Government Chief Information Officer and all that. Those items have been well known among OPW management for many years. We are coming to a conclusion now. They would have been highlighted by the internal auditor.
