Public Accounts Committee

HEA - Financial Statement 2015

10:00 am

Dr. Graham Love:

What the Deputy stated is correct. There have been a number of initiatives. There has been the Mazars report. There have been meetings between the chief executive of the HEA and the disclosers with the institution. It then reached the point of the Mazars report to which the Deputy refers. It was then followed up by the attempt at a negotiation through Jane Williams. Unfortunately, the two sides have become quite entrenched, as we mentioned in our report.
