Horse Sport Industry Strategy: Engagement with Horse Sport Ireland

Mr. Denis Duggan:

No. We are audited. Evelyn Partners are our external financial auditor, and we also have an internal audit firm. The internal audit function for the organisation is outsourced to Crowleys DFK. I should also say that the entire Covid relief funding scheme and €2.5 million in Covid funding that we received from Sport Ireland was separately and independently audited on behalf of Sport Ireland by KOSI. It gave it a five-star rating and a clean bill of health. Indeed, our external auditors, Evelyn Partners, have also given us unqualified audits in the past. As head of governance, Ms Everett may want to comment on that.
