FAI: Matters relating to Governance and Funding
9:30 am
Dr. Una May:
I will refer to Mr. Califf. At the time of the Covid funding reviews and the monitoring of the Covid funding, we sought the support of KOSI, which carried out an audit. It provided us with assurances that the funds that were provided to the FAI were accurately spent on investing in the incurred losses. The key focus of our scheme was to ensure that at any stage of the process only specific losses that were incurred as a result of Covid-19 were supported through this scheme. That was the outcome, and the outcome of the audit was that we received substantial assurance from KOSI that the scheme was addressed properly and was appropriately enforced.
