Public Accounts Committee

Kildare and Wicklow Education and Training Board: Financial Statements 2015

9:00 am

Dr. Deirdre Keyes:

Mr. Kelly might comment as he oversees it. We have 21 particular areas and a roadmap. There are timeframes and deliverables. We provide that report to the board on a regular basis, as one will see in the submission I gave to the committee. While the code of governance is operational, it is equally important that it is embedded in the organisation, that there is an understanding of what is good practice and that there is a support programme for all staff at all levels, not just in head office but in schools and centres, etc. There are still objectives to be met within our code of governance programme but we have commenced considerable work and achieved a lot underneath it to date, particularly in the nine or ten areas of concern that the Comptroller and Auditor General's report highlighted. We have prioritised those actions. We are monitoring it. The project very much focuses on deliverables. Mr. Kelly might confirm if that is correct.
