Public Accounts Committee

2012 Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General
Chapter 7 - Management of Fixed Charge Notice System

1:50 pm

Mr. Seamus McCarthy:

From a revenue point of view, if I examine a particular case - and we have examined 300 - and am not satisfied that there were circumstances documented that warranted the cancellation I would conclude that there is some loss of revenue.

For me to do further work on specific cases where there are allegations of corruption or illegality of some kind and to report back on those is quite a different process. I would have to reflect on what I could do, and having done it, what I could report.
