Under the conditions of sanction for capital expenditure issued by my Department, Departments are required to put in place a system of annual spot-checks of projects to ensure compliance with the VFM requirements and to report the findings of these spot-checks annually to my Department. Compliance with the capital investment framework is a matter in the first instance for implementing Departments and Agencies in respect of their capital expenditure. These reports are reviewed by the Central Expenditure Evaluation Unit (CEEU) in my Department who report on issues arising. The CEEU will be examining the Spot-Check reports in respect of the 2007 capital programmes and as part of this examination will report to me on progress in addressing the issues raised last year.
