Public Accounts Committee

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

11:50 am

Dr. RuaidhrĂ­ Neavyn:

To be fair to the internal audit committee, it would have raised it. In 2009, there was a well documented case of expenditure similar to this in another organisation. At that time, the internal audit committee would have asked the question, "Will there be a review done of the expenditure in the office of the president?" It was informed at the time that it would be done as part of the Comptroller and Auditor General's review.
