REPORT
Foreword
In accordance with paragraphs 64-66 of the Code of Practice for engagement between Scrutiny Panels and the Public Accounts Committee' and the Executive', (as derived from the Proceedings Code of Practice) the Public Accounts Committee presents the interim Executive Response to the Comptroller and Auditor General's Report entitled Public Audit in Jersey: A Thinkpiece (R.11/2021 presented to the States on 27th January 2021).
The Committee has been advised that the Government intends to publish a full Executive Response to the C&AG's report in due course. The interim response received from the Chief Executive and Head of the Public Service is welcomed, particularly as all of the recommendations made by the C&AG are accepted in principle.
The Committee notes from the interim response that a formal project will be established (Public Sector Reporting and Audit) with a designated Senior Responsible Officer, to review the approach and develop the programme activity required to progress matters raised in the report.
The Committee welcomes this approach and intends to monitor its progress going forward.
The Committee looks forward to receiving the Government's full response in due course which will include target dates to implement the accepted recommendations.
Deputy I. Gardiner Chair, Public Accounts Committee
