Exceptional Funding of the Peter McVerry Trust: Discussion
2:00 am
Mr. Tony O'Brien:
My predecessor made a professional standards complaint to the relevant body that auditor belongs to. This is an issue that exists throughout the system. Individual organisations place reliance on external auditors, boards place reliance on that and they produce those audited accounts, which generally are what is required for external oversight. They are an important part of the bulwark. In this particular case, it was a flawed part of the bulwark.
