Financial Statements 2023: Inland Fisheries Ireland
Special Report No. 118 of the Comptroller and Auditor General: Governance, internal control and value for money issues in Inland Fisheries Ireland

2:00 am

Mr. Barry Fox:

We have a number of staff who do a lot of foreign travel. When people go to such places as the USA for angling promotion events and so on, it would be a significant burden on them to have to spend their own money. They have use of a credit card therefore to hire a car, book accommodation and such things, if it cannot be done through the purchase order, PO, system. However, every cent spent on a credit card goes through the purchase order system. It is not a matter of people just walking in and tapping the card. There is back-up paperwork for that spending.
