Before I allow in the Comptroller and Auditor General, I would like to ensure we deal completely with this issue. I asked a question relating to the preparation of the accounts and the involvement of the audit committee and before seeking other comments at the end of this meeting, I would have asked the same question as Deputy Fleming has asked in order to complete the circle. The Office of the Comptroller and Auditor General would have received all of the accounts and the information from the institute. What happened thereafter and, in the context of that audit, why is it that the poor procedures, lack of good governance and so on were not discovered?
