Public Accounts Committee

Business of Committee

Mr. Seamus McCarthy:

In 2014 there will still be an element of working around to be done. After the report was presented by me, there was a change in the board – almost a complete change of the board membership – in the middle of 2015. When we get to the 2014 to 2015 financial statements, which I expect we will begin auditing in the new year, I think the systems will be significantly better. The statement on internal financial control is quite comprehensive about the problems that there have been for the college and the steps it is taking. There is an update on my report of 2014 in relation to that.
