Public Accounts pressured to hold fire on States reforms
Monday 4th January 2010, 2:29PM GMT.
THE Public Accounts Committee is under mounting pressure to delay its work on improving how the States operates.
It has announced plans for a consultation exercise to begin early this month to help produce a report making recommendations to overcome serious shortcomings identified in the Wales Audit Office’s good governance investigation.
But the Policy Council has asked it to consider delaying until after a requete led by Deputy Matt Fallaize has been debated, saying that will happen in February.
Deputy Fallaize (pictured) and his supporters do not want recommendations to stray outside the consensus government model.
He wrote to the Policy Council asking for the matter to be debated this month, but the council has decided to consult all departments and committees for their views so the matter was expected to be included in the February Billet.
‘As a matter of timing, I am not especially bothered whether the requete is debated in January or February,’ said Deputy Fallaize.

It’s an easy solution.
Re-employ the audit manager who was in post from 2001 to 2006 and was qualified in audit, risk, governance and everything else that was needed. This would never have happened had their licence been extended to 15 years instead of the 7 it was.
Guernsey let governance go to the dogs – the audit team went from 8 to zero in 2 years. What do they expect….
