Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport

Governance Review Group Report for the FAI Board and Sport Ireland: Sport Ireland

Mr. John Treacy:

We probably pushed out the boat more than many organisations which give money to bodies. In fact, we were way ahead of the posse in auditing these organisations. Other sectors do not carry out audits or go into that area. We review the financial statements of all the organisations on an ongoing basis. Not only do we do that, but we also go back to the organisations with feedback. We have a good regime. Of course, Sport Ireland is audited by the Comptroller and Auditor General. Our regime is robust. The committee asked us to take a step further. We listened carefully, consulted with the Department and NGBs and we have taken the extra step.
