Arts Sector Funding: Discussion
1:30 pm
Mr. Martin O'Sullivan:
We are not a regulator. That is the first point. We have detailed guidelines around governance and what organisations must have in place. The bodies that we fund are companies limited by guarantee. The board members have the responsibility - as the fiduciaries of the members - to run the organisation, along with the governance standards that we clearly set out in our conditions of financial assistance.
