Panel highlights recurrent lapses in IT controls, financial governance by govt agencies
Singapore

The Public Accounts Committee (PAC), which reviews the Auditor-General's annual report, noted the lapses in many instances took place not because of a lack of rules, procedures or systems, but due to agencies failing to comply with the controls put in place.
