Public Accounts Committee

Business of Committee

9:00 am

Mr. Seamus McCarthy:

It is a different set of rules around the presentation of financial statements. The expectation is that we give the audit certificate to the body, which is expected to give it to the Minister within a month. It is expected that the Minister will approve the presentation of it within two further months. It is one of the issues we deal with in the report on the timeliness of financial reporting.
