Auditors' report
The NPC's financial and management systems were audited during the summer
of 1997. Auditors were satisfied that the systems in place allow the NPC to operate effectively and achieve the objectives set in the annual business plan. A number of recommendations were made for further improvement. These were fully implemented by the end of 1997.
Register of interests
A register has been established to formally record any declarations of interest, including external funding and research grants received, by members of the NPC staff.
If any conflict of interest is established with any specific NPC activity then those individuals will play no part in the relevant discussion or decision making process.
The Register will be made available for scrutiny on written request to the Director.
