The National Treasury Management Agency (NTMA) has advised that, excluding the National Asset Management Agency, the only applicable expenditure is incurred by the State Claims Agency (SCA). The NTMA is designated as the SCA when performing the claims management and risk management functions delegated to it under the National Treasury Management Agency (Amendment) Act 2000. As part of its functions in relation to the management of claims against the State, the SCA has checks carried out, in certain cases, to assist in the identification of any fraudulent claims. The SCA incurred expenses of €160,000 in relation to these services in 2012. At the end of 2012 the SCA had 5,755 active claims under management with an estimated outstanding liability of €1.1 billion.
