Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach

Changes to Public Spending Code: Department of Public Expenditure, National Development Plan Delivery and Reform

Mr. John Conlon:

We take on board all their reports, and their special reports. We work, through our Government accounting people, on updating our own rules and regulations, in particular, on public financial procedures in their output. That indirect engagement is always there and we always are quite conscious of and work with it. However, they do not see themselves as advisers to us and we do not see it that way either.
