Public Accounts Committee

2016 Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General
Chapter 7 - Dormant Accounts Fund

9:00 am

Mr. Kevin McCarthy:

We have already commenced preparations for the 2018 action plan. One of the things we are doing as part of that is to look at decommitals. Part of the experience here in recent years was that a number of measures never really got off the ground. They still stand as commitments under the fund, and there is a need to look seriously at whether the intention is to proceed with these. Some commitments may prevent us from making new commitments and undertaking new measures as part of the 2018 action plan-----
