Public Accounts Committee
2011 Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
11:50 am
Ms Geraldine Tallon:
I accept that. Some of the time we are talking about figures compiled in our planning section. Ultimately, we want to rely on the figures as audited by the local government auditors in the context of the annual financial statements. I have provided a figure for 2011 that is not absolutely complete because a couple of annual financial statements for 2011 are still to be finalised in the local government audit system. I want to give a position that is accurate. There is some commentary in the activity report at county council level, which the local government audit system has already issued. I will come back to the Chairman with a note of clarification.
