The Public Spending Code aims to ensure that the state achieves value for money in the use of all public funds. This Quality Assurance Report gauges whether Cork County Council meets these aims. This Quality Assurance process contains 5 steps: 1. An inventory of projects/programmes at the different stages of the Project Life Cycle. 2. Online publication of procurement information relative to projects in excess of 10 million euro. Specifically those in progress or completed in the year under review. 3. Complete checklist relative to different capital and current expenditure programs stages. 4. In-depth check on a number of projects/programmes. 5. Summary Report. 6 Cork County Council- Public Spending Code Quality Assurance Report 2020 Step 1 - Project/Programme Inventory This inventory reflects all of Cork County Councils capital and current Expenditure based programmes/projects in excess of €500,000 for the reporting period. Please note the following: Cork County Council’s (CCC) Annual Capital Programme, Annual Budget and AFS inform this inventory. Cork County Council continues to ensure there is a focus on compliance with the Public Spending Code across all directorates. However due to the size and volume of the capital projects managed by Cork County Council, the centralised management of capital projects remains challenging. This has made the compilation of a complete inventory listing more complex. The inventory outlined in this report under the heading Expenditure being considered has been taken from the Councils draft three-year capital programme. The inventory listed under the headings Expenditure being incurred and Expenditure recently ended has been taken from Cork County Council’s Unaudited AFS 2020. All current (revenue) expenditure includes pay. Certain current revenue and capital projects are aggregates of numerous smaller projects or multiyear projects. These are included in the inventory because the overall project exceeds €500,000 euro even though some spending falls outside the reporting period. The inventory excludes water capital projects as Irish Water oversees same (albeit with CCC as an agent). 7 Cork County Council- Public Spending Code Quality Assurance Report 2020 REVENUE EXPENDITURE BEING CONSIDERED – GREATER THAN €0.5M (CAPITAL AND CURRENT) Project/Scheme/Programme Name Short Description Current Expenditure Capital Expenditure Amount Capital Expenditure Projected Amount in in Reference Year (Non Amount in Reference Project/Programme Lifetime Explanatory Reference Year Grant ) Year (Grant ) Anticipated Timeline Expenditure Notes Maint/Improv LA Housing Units Housing Assess, Alloc & Trans Housing Rent & TP Admin Admin Homeless Service Support to Housing Capital Programme Housing € 2021 2,877,929 RAS Programme RAS € 2021 691,796 Housing Loans Housing Grant Housing grants € 2021 970,298 Voluntary Housing Scheme NP Road -
