Public Accounts Committee

Business of Committee

9:30 am

Mr. Seamus McCarthy:

It may be that for the next number of weeks, perhaps even for a month or two, the committee will not have too many financial statements to deal with. The emphasis the committee has put on the timely submission of financial statements has been very effective. A batch of accounts and statements were signed at the end of last year, nearly all of which have now flushed through the system. We are only now starting to sign the 2022 financial statements so it may be a bit of time before they will start to come through the system. There could be a period of weeks when we will not have too many coming through.
