View answerIn line with the recommendation of the report of the working group on the accountability of Secretaries General and accounting officers an audit committee was established in my Department in January 2004. The membership of the committee is as follows: Mr. Jimmy Farrelly, chairperson, Ms Sylda Langford, Mr. Jim McHugh, Mr. Caoimhín Ó hUiginn and Mr. Robert Woods. The committee has met twice since its establishment; it is currently considering a draft charter and it has issued no reports to date to either the Secretary General or to me.
