PAC to decide ministries to be called up by this week

The Public Accounts Committee (PAC) will decide by this week the ministries and departments to be hauled up following the release of the Auditor-General’s Report 2016 Series 1.

Its chairman Datuk Hasan Ariffin said the department would review the Auditor-General's Report 2016 before making the decision.

"We would like to see it (Auditor-General’s Report) first before the decision is made.

“Decisions will be made later this week," Hasan said in a press conference with Auditor-General Tan Sri Madinah Mohamad at the PAC Office in Parliament.

The report shows 25 ministries obtaining excellent ratings for 2016's audit compared to 16 ministries in 2015.
