Public Accounts Committee

2017 Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 7 - Office of the Minister for Finance
Chapter 1 - Exchequer Financial Outturn for 2017
Chapter 22 - Irish Fiscal Advisory Council

Mr. Derek Moran:

To be fair, we have moved to look at what this involves and to take our EU policy people and accounts and finance people, and to start to scope what this would look like. I have no dispute with the Comptroller and Auditor General's view that this would be more informative, more transparent and so on. There are also projects we are doing around the Government's balance sheet in trying to get a consolidated view of that and to move to bring on some of the assets that we do not currently see, and then do an intertemporal exercise with it as well. There is a range of things we are doing. Hopefully, when I am back next year, I can outline what progress we have made on that.
