General Report No. 85 of the Comptroller and Auditor General: Accountability and Governance on the National College of Art and Design
10:00 am
Mr. Tom Boland:
What we knew was that there were delays in relation to the settling of accounts. I repeat that our understanding, from the information we got from the college, was that that was a matter of ongoing discussion with the Comptroller and Auditor General. We did not appreciate that there was a major problem. We got assurances from the college and we accepted them in good faith.
