Public Accounts Committee

Business of Committee

9:30 am

Mr. Seamus McCarthy:

Yes, but there is a limited accountability of the Governor to this committee. While I carry out the audit of the financial statements of the Central Bank, the Governor is specifically not accountable regarding matters that are in the financial statements. There might be a jurisdictional issue, which the Chairman would need to establish.
