The Department of Economic Development says it works with professional organisations to make sure money it pays for sponsorship and hospitality is spent wisely.
In the House of Keys this week, DED Minister Lawrence Skelly faced questions from Onchan MHK Julie Edge on the subject.
Mr Skelly said the department follows the government's financial regulations when it sponsors events such as TT or IsleExpo.
And he added the department looks for partnerships with recognised organisations when it's involved in off-Island events:
Total of 70 ships and companies sanctioned over Ukraine war
New stamps celebrate Island supercar culture
New survey to gauge how confident businesses are
Tynwald to consider scrapping some government agencies
Bank deposits up by nearly £3 billion on last year
Island sanctions Israelis for Palestine human rights breaches
Last chance to give government your views on high streets
Regulator releases new anti-money laundering guides
