Public Accounts Committee

Business of Committee

Mr. Seamus McCarthy:

I would also make the point that in a situation where an organisation’s accounts fall into arrears, there is a danger that all these controls slip because it is not completing the cycle every year in a timely fashion. The whole thing works together. One looks for where there is slippage in the system to nip things in the bud.
