Seán Fleming: So they were very much behind, but do they have both sets of accounts up to date for 2014 and 2015?
- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (23 Feb 2017)
Seán Fleming: The 2014 one has been done since the Comptroller and Auditor General did his report.
- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (23 Feb 2017)

- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (23 Feb 2017)
Seán Fleming: Okay and that agency will be reporting.

The next item, 4.4, is the Charities Regulatory Authority, which is a clear audited opinion. Item 4.5 is the National Council for Curriculum Assessment 2015 - a clear audit account.

Seán Fleming: We will ask the Comptroller and Auditor General if we have it.

Seán Fleming: I think we received it yesterday.
- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (23 Feb 2017)
Seán Fleming: We have just received the document that was produced by the Comptroller and Auditor General and we will circulate it for next week's meeting. Is that okay?
- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (23 Feb 2017)
Seán Fleming: We have just received it and I have not yet looked at it. We will now deal with our work programme. Today the committee is dealing with the Department of Transport, Tourism and Sport.

Seán Fleming: We might bring the HEA in earlier on in the process, rather than at the end of it, because it is the funding body. Are further ones planned on subsequent dates?
- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (23 Feb 2017)
Seán Fleming: We will try to confine it to approximately two meetings. If we go to a third one that is fine, but I do not want to have five, six or seven meetings. That is only a suggestion, however. Are there any questions?
- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (23 Feb 2017)
Seán Fleming: Right. We will see where we can accommodate that in next week's work programme.

- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (23 Feb 2017)
Seán Fleming: I did not hear it. I do not even-----
- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (23 Feb 2017)
Seán Fleming: I would hope that this afternoon we will have completed our entire first reading of the working document presented to us and by next Tuesday, the secretariat will be back with all the amendments, variations, additions and deletions that have been agreed. We will have to have a meeting for a couple of hours during which we will read a hard copy. Somebody has forced us into that by leaking...
