Comptroller and Auditor General Special Report 95: Financial Reporting in the Public Sector (6 Jul 2017) Seán Fleming: Mr. Watt might send us a note on that. It is important that Mr. Watt listens to what I say next. The Department now has to do the same for protected disclosures. I have yet to meet a single body that knows how to deal with a protected disclosure. Members of this committee are being inundated and I have yet to see a public body that has dealt satisfactorily with protected disclosure. It...

Comptroller and Auditor General Special Report 95: Financial Reporting in the Public Sector (6 Jul 2017) Seán Fleming: Inevitably some mistakes have been made along the line. It is a big system and lots of different things were mentioned. Mr. Watt might give us a note on some of the lessons the Department learned, three years into implementing the new system. It is important that lessons are learned because the Department cannot have got it all right. I am not setting out to criticise because nobody can...

Comptroller and Auditor General Special Report 95: Financial Reporting in the Public Sector (6 Jul 2017) Seán Fleming: I will not debate the contents of it with Mr. Watt now but I know its format from other years. I suspect very few, if any, of the issues set out in the first FEMPI legislation as to why we were in a financial emergency still exist, apart from the level of national debt. I do not think Mr. Watt will be able to answer this question but do the criteria that existed when the measures were first...

Comptroller and Auditor General Special Report 95: Financial Reporting in the Public Sector (6 Jul 2017) Seán Fleming: The seriousness of the housing crisis today is equivalent to the conditions of the national finances at the time that merited that legislation. If there was a case for FEMPI then there is a case for housing emergency legislation in the public interest. That is not Mr. Watt's Department but he could take that on board because it is a recurring theme here. We feel that while mistakes were...
