Public Accounts Committee

Business of Committee

Mr. Seamus McCarthy:

I am hoping it will be a relatively short timeline. The issues are fairly focused with regard to IFI. I signalled when I spoke about the 2021 financial statements that there were a number of issues that needed further investigation. Work has been going on with that. Obviously, in the last month or two, I have been dealing with the annual report and the appropriation accounts. However, it is the first item for attention once I get past the annual report. I do not have a precise timeline now. The audit for 2022 is ongoing and that may be completed earlier. I will try to bring the two of them together if at all possible.
