Public Accounts Committee

2017 Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 21 - Prisons

9:00 am

Ms Caron McCaffrey:

That is one of the areas that our business process review has been examining. It covers cash handling systems at prison level and ensuring appropriate procedures are in place to manage the imprest account, which is the account to which the Deputy referred. We are cognisant of the need to ensure proper governance of that cash.
