Scrutiny into operation of VEC inevitable, says spending watchdog

The State’s spending watchdog has said a special scrutiny report on the operation of County Cork VEC appears inevitable given the volume of complaints arising from the organisation.

The Comptroller and Auditor General, Seamus McCarthy, said audit work on CCVEC’s 2011 accounts had been significantly delayed because of a need to address outstanding issues.

Mr McCarthy said while some clarifications from CCVEC have still to be received, he expects a special report will follow once the accounts are completed.
