Public Accounts Committee

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

9:00 am

Mr. Kevin McCarthy:

It appears to be the case that the 2014 action plan, which I think has already been referred to, was produced quite late in 2014 and a view appears to have been formed that it was too soon to produce another action plan because the 2014 action plan continued to be relevant. That should not have happened. The statutory requirement was and is that there should be an action plan in each year. Action plans have been produced for 2016 and 2017 and we will continue to ensure that an action plan is produced for each year.
