The Public Accounts Committee (PAC) is a parliamentary committee responsible for examining government expenditures and ensuring accountability. It reviews the financial statements of government departments and agencies, ensuring that public funds are used effectively and efficiently. The PAC plays a crucial role in promoting transparency in government operations. Members of the PAC are typically drawn from various political parties, allowing for a balanced perspective. The committee often works closely with the National Audit Office to assess financial reports and investigate any discrepancies. Its findings can lead to recommendations for improving financial management and governance within the public sector.
