Panel highlights recurrent lapses in IT controls, financial governance by govt agencies
Singapore
THE parliamentary watchdog of public sector accounts has flagged recurrent lapses by Singapore's government agencies in the areas of IT controls and financial governance, and urged them to understand and fix the root causes.
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.
