Public Accounts Committee

Business of Committee

9:00 am

Mr. Seamus McCarthy:

I did report in 2014. I do not know if members remember, I prepared a special report on the difficulties that there were in the college. They got into very deep arrears of completing financial statements. They have been working hard to retrieve the situation and progress is being made in relation to that. A new board was appointed in 2015. So, if one likes, dealing with part of the next accounting period, the one that I have signed off on, we are working on 2015-16 accounts. We will move as quickly as we can with the college to bring them up to date.
