Joint Committee on Social Protection, Rural and Community Development
Special Reports and Reviews on Social Protection and Rural Development Issues: European Court of Auditors
2:00 am
Mr. Tony Murphy:
We do two aspects. We do the financial audit, which is our annual report, where we look at the moneys spent under specific programmes to see if they were spent in line with the rules. We have a chapter on agriculture in our annual report, so that is where it would be. It is chapter 7. It provides an overview of what we have looked at in agriculture. It would show the different issues we have found. Then we will look at particular aspects in the special reports. It could be organic farming or whatever. We would see, first, whether the money has been spent, whether it was spent on what it was supposed to be spent on in line with the rules, etc. Second, we look at the policy aspects of the policy.
