Public bill · Private Member · Introduced

The proposal would give the Comptroller and Auditor General responsibility for auditing local authorities’ accounts, checking that spending is properly documented, lawful and used for its intended purpose. Audit certificates and reports would be sent to the relevant Minister, laid before both Houses of the Oireachtas and published by each local authority, while accounting officers would generally have 30 days to answer reasonable requests from the Dáil committee examining audit reports. It would also clarify the Comptroller and Auditor General’s role in local-government audits and include the Housing Finance Agency among the bodies covered.
