Ms Hilary Murphy-Fagan:

Things have moved on and improved since the observations of the Comptroller and Auditor General. Since the last quarter of 2017, a report goes out to the finance officers which shows the balance outstanding by employee, the amount recouped in the current year by employee and looks at the period for the recoupment amount. We had to examine and test the required information on the technology to ensure we were able to produce that type of report. That report is now working but we are looking to improve it further by providing more information. A pilot project is planned for this quarter regarding the addition of more features to that reporting in order that the management information is available.
