Tens of thousands of euro kept in unsecure schools

Persistent risks existed within schools and centres that were under the CCVEC’s remit because too much cash was being kept on site and money was not being promptly lodged or properly accounted for.

Management at CCVEC were forced to intervene in a number of facilities when money was not transferred quickly enough to central funds.

Auditors said this exposed CCVEC to unacceptable risks of losses, and raised security issues.
