Gareth Davies, the Comptroller and Auditor General (C&AG) of the National Audit Office, has reported on the 2015-16 Sports Council Northern Ireland Lottery Distribution Accounts.

He has issued a report on the accounts due to:

  • the delay in finalising them
  • the C&AG’s qualification of his opinion on the 2015-16 Sports Council Northern Ireland Lottery Distribution Accounts

The C&AG has qualified his opinion on the 2015-16 Sports Council Northern Ireland Lottery Distribution Accounts as he was unable to obtain sufficient, appropriate audit evidence that grants de-committed in year and grants payables as at 31 March 2016 and as at 31 March 2015 are free from material error.
