There is a tracking system to make sure we get replies.

The next item is a report on the accounts and statements received since the last meeting. We have not done this since December so we are playing a little bit of catch-up here and we will have a bit more catching up to do next week to be fully up to date. There are 15 accounts and statements for review this week. Item No. 41 is the travellers' protection fund and the travel agent and tour operator bond account.

That is a clear audit opinion.

The next items are clear audit opinions for the State Examinations Commission, the Institute of Public Administration and the Kerry Education and Training Board. In the case of the last, there is again non-compliance with national procurement rules and concerns regarding the lack of appropriate contemporary financial and human resources management systems, as well as a potential impact on internal controls. The ETBs are improving their situations but some have highlighted these problems.
