Public Accounts Committee

Business of Committee

9:00 am

Mr. Seamus McCarthy:

It would not be appropriate for me to comment on other auditors. We look at their work. We might take a different view. We may and do engage with them and discuss points. I would like to think that we arrive at a common view. We have a difference of opinion with some of the commercial auditors, particularly with regard to the accounting for pensions.
