Public Accounts Committee

Kildare and Wicklow Education and Training Board: Financial Statements 2015

9:00 am

Mr. Noel Merrick:

We are required to meet four times per year but we usually meet more often than that. We have met 16 or 17 times since we were set up in late 2015. The audit and finance committees were appointed in May 2015 but they did not start meeting until October 2015, which was two thirds of the way through the year in question in these accounts. I gather we have had 16 full meetings and we have made 15 reports. Typically, after each meeting we make a chairperson's report back to the main board on the work we have been doing and our findings, etc.
