The Fourth Assembly Public Accounts Committee scrutinised the Welsh Government’s Annual Grant Management Report in a series of evidence sessions between March 2014 and February 2016. Those sessions drew on the content of the Welsh Government’s annual reports on grants management for 2013, 2014 and 2015 which were published as part of its response to the recommendations from the previous Committee’s work.

The previous Committee recommended in its Legacy Report that the successor Public Accounts Committee continues to scrutinise the Welsh Government’s progress in improving grants management, drawing on the Welsh Government’s annual reporting and reflecting on any new evidence on grants management arising from the Auditor General’s work or other concerns that are brought to the Committee’s attention.
