Answer
In order to comply with Treasury’s guidance on Managing Public Money, the requirement to submit audited financial accounts each year is contained within my Department’s letter of offer to RCTP’s.
My Department, as the primary grant funder for RCTP’s is obliged to ensure all grants provided are spent in line with all legal and licensing conditions, and with the objectives of the Rural Transport Fund.
