Public Accounts Committee

Kildare and Wicklow Education and Training Board: Financial Statements 2015

9:00 am

Mr. Seamus McCarthy:

There are references throughout the report to places where the board did not appear to have relevant information. Obviously, there is an expectation that boards can ask questions. Boards have an obligation to identify what information they need and to specifically seek information. The fact that there had been difficulties throughout the years in respect of internal audit and, if one likes, the functioning of audit committees is systemically important and something that we must increasingly have an eye to.
