Public Accounts Committee

2017 Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 13 - Office of Public Works
Chapter 6: Lease of Offices at Miesian Plaza

9:00 am

Mr. Maurice Buckley:

The questions were asked and answered but the implications of the change of the measurement process were not captured in that series of questions and answers at that time. That is where the problem arose because once that was set in stone, a wrong understanding had crept into the file and that is why from that point on when the lease was being finalised it was missed by the checks because they were checking against wrong information.
