Public Accounts Committee

Work Programme

9:00 am

Mr. Seamus McCarthy:

It is a matter that the committee could take up with the organisation if it called its representatives in. That is the 2014 accounts for the Railway Safety Commission. When 2015 comes up, we will be looking to see if for 2015 it carried out the review. If it has done it and has done it in a timely way, we will not say anything about it. It will be confirming in what is called its statement of internal financial control that it has complied and we do not draw attention to that. The Deputy can take it that the body is confirming and we are satisfied that it did carry it out in a timely fashion with all the rest of them where there is a clear audit opinion. We draw attention by exception.
