I know in the municipal world, when our accountant made recommendations in private, if they were not followed up by the following year, the RMC mayors were reminded about them and reminded that they should be implemented, if not they were going to have their fingers rapped by the government or another agency.
In your case, you're not able to meet the government or the committee and say that such and such a department—we won't name any names—is disregarding the recommendations. Why make recommendations if you cannot follow up on them? There's a problem there.
