HSE Financial Statement 2015

Mr. Tony O'Brien:
Thanks. If I can answer the question, it may answer the next question the Deputy is trying to pose to me. When issues of concern arose about financial governance, the audit was initiated. Prior to that, there had not been unresolved issues which led to that decision. Obviously, officers have to make judgments at all times. With the benefit of hindsight, maybe the decision could have been made earlier, maybe not.
