Ms Niamh Duff:
Following the C and AG's audit of Vote 12 last year and the errors being highlighted, the Department did a review of the processes in place. We depend quite regularly on the NSSO giving us reports for CET and then we rely on those reports and record those numbers in our appropriation account. Prior to the C and AG's findings we did that on an annual basis and subsequently what we did was that we went through the whole process and identified what information we needed from the NSSO. We looked at the frequency of the information we were getting and what kind of data we were getting. We also created a shared file depository, so it means we can double check the data the NSSO provides to us.
