Back to EpisodesNorthern Ireland's Audit Office: 101 Arm's-Length Bodies, 77% of Stormont's Budget
Description
New report uncovers over one hundred arms-length bodies in Northern Ireland, handling seventy-seven percent of Stormonts budget. These public organizations deliver key services but face widespread oversight issues, with no clear definition across government. Big spenders include health, education, and police services, yet many lack formal partnership agreements with sponsor departments. The auditor general emphasizes the need for proportionate oversight and consistent department support for better accountability in massive public spending.
