Public Accounts Committee

Kildare and Wicklow Education and Training Board: Financial Statements 2015

9:00 am

Mr. Seán Ó Foghlú:

Following the report prior to the 2012 appearance before the Committee on Public Accounts, there was a follow-up report on the part of what was then called the vocational support services unit, VSSU, the internal audit unit for the VECs at the time. That went into detail on the initial establishment of the ETB and the procurement arrangements in place. There was a management response. We encouraged the internal audit unit to undertake that follow-up review. It was very important. There was a management response to that. I assume that was considered by the internal audit committee of the ETB. That is where the most disappointment has arisen. We have also undertaken a follow-up audit of devolved programmes, which we also talked about. We put a code of governance in place, which was not in place in 2010, and we have updated the code of governance in 2019.
