Special Report No. 78 of the Comptroller and Auditor General: Matters Arising out of Education Audits (Resumed)
Higher Education Authority - Annual Financial Statements 2011: Discussion
11:40 am
Mr. Tom Boland:
It is a new memorandum of understanding and there was none between the Department and the Higher Education Authority before it was produced. It is now considered good practice – I can see why – for Departments to have clear arrangements with their agencies with regard to their respective roles and responsibilities, and the way in which an agency is to work with the Department.
