Public Accounts Committee

2017 Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 8 - Office of the Comptroller and Auditor General

9:00 am

Mr. Seamus McCarthy:

When the Deputy was speaking earlier it occurred to me that our office is analogous to the CSO. It provides economic statistics, but there is a equivalence between what we do and what it does. It verifies information and facts for use in decision making, and that is exactly what we, as auditors, do.
