Currently there are no auditors employed by the Department of Children and Youth Affairs which was formally established on 2 June last. However the Deputy might wish to note that the Accounting Officer for my Department is currently examining the establishment of an internal audit function within the Department and it is expected that staff will be assigned to perform this role in the near future.

As is the case for all other Departments of State, my Departments accounts will be audited by the Comptroller and Auditor General.
