Bíonn fochuideachtaí uile Údarás na Gaeltachta ina gcuideachtaí teoranta. I ndeireadh gach bliana tugtar liosta de na cásanna a bhíonn i bhfeidhm i dtábla 7 den tuarascáil a fhoilsítear agus tugtar eolas faoin gcaiteachas Stáit i ngach cás i sceideal 1 leis na cuntais iniúchta. Tá tuarascáil agus cuntais 1983 leagtha faoi bhráid na Dála.

Is amhlaidh a thagtar ar chinneadh i ngach cás ar leith tar éis na gnéithe uile a bhreithniú.
