Public Accounts Committee

2016 Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Chapter 5 - Fiscal Transparency

9:00 am

Mr. William Beausang:

I know that the first movement across in terms of financial management shared services is happening this year. The Department of Public Expenditure and Reform and the Department of Finance will come in under the system at that time. In terms of the end point, I am sure it is programmed into the plan but it will depend on progress as it works through the 40 public service bodies that will be brought in under the single financial management shared service. I do not have the information with me so I will share with the committee what the sequencing of public bodies is expected to be.
