Transcript of What Does NAPAC Do Now
What does NAPAC do now? Financial constraint PAC not independent of executive Regulatory framework to define the relationship/ linkages between a
strong PAC and A-G PAC Challenge – Dependence (funding; reliance on parliament as a
whole for an effective PAC; timely submission of audit report by A-G; technical support to PAC from A-G) and Independence of the PACs and
Members of PAC (NB suggestion PAC Chair should be from the opposition)
A-G Challenge – Independence of the A-G (funding; empowered through technical training; need to collaborate closely with PAC around A-G budget; timely submission of info by Accountant-General)
