Mr. David Moloney:

The Department is continuing the implementation of the IPSAS-based accounting standards. As requested by the committee, we provided a timetable in a letter dated 2 November 2021. That timetable is still on track. Obviously, it is a long-term project. The next phase is a focus on 12 particular accounting standards and making progress on them. With regard to the financial management shared services, FMSS, project, that project has now gone live in respect of the first wave of clients, which includes my Department. That is proceeding.
