Public Accounts Committee

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

9:00 am

Mr. Derek Moran:

We have to go back to the context of the report. The report gave a set of guidance, non-binding recommendations for us and the Government charged us with looking at implementation as appropriate. To date, we have implemented or partially implemented about 70% of what was in that report on an ongoing basis. To the extent that we can advance once the infrastructure is in place, we will be back to look at that.

A lot of what Mr. Beausang has referred to is the next stage of progress around it. This is never finished. One always keeps trying to improve what one is doing.
