Special Report No. 78 of the Comptroller and Auditor General: Matters Arising out of Education Audits (Resumed)

11:30 am

Dr. RuaidhrĂ­ Neavyn:

That is correct. Once we saw the scale of expenditure between 2009 and 2011, we made a conscious decision that we did not want to incur further costs and, therefore, the staff of my office carried out the review, with a focus on the areas of expenditure identified in the second report. These form the basis of the reimbursement claim. Does that make sense?
