Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government
Local Government Audit Service: Discussion
Ms Niamh Larkin:
No, because we have always had a robust system in respect of procurement. It can be seen in the overview report that procurement and purchasing feature heavily within audits. A sample of items procured is picked from each local authority every year and we make sure that the relevant legislation, procurement guidelines and the guidelines of the local authority itself have been followed. We only pick a sample rather than checking every single contract.
