Public Accounts Committee

Business of Committee

9:00 am

Mr. Seamus McCarthy:

Increasingly, bodies are beginning to address the totality of their spending and to look at whether they are compliant. That is something we have pushed and we welcome it. Sometimes it is a blend. They may go through a process and identify a certain level of procurement that is non-compliant. We might look then at what they claim is compliant and find on a sample basis that there are cases that we consider to be non-compliant. In general, they will accept the point and add it to their list but there is that element of the adequacy of their own surveying.
