Public Accounts Committee

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

9:00 am

Mr. Kevin McCarthy:

The reality is that it is more likely to relate to measures that never got off the ground rather than groups that were approved for funding not having got it. It may have been that a measure did not reach the level of activity that might have been originally projected. For example, either the level of demand or level of uptake did not reach the initial projected level or, in some cases, a measure simply did not get off the ground in the way that was originally planned.
