Ms Laverne McGuinness:
Not a chart of accounts because, in relation to the actual financial accounts themselves, each organisation is audited independently. That is part of their ethos and their culture. Their accounts are prepared separately by their own staff and, indeed, by their own auditors and financial accountants. That would not be within our remit to dictate. However, we have asked that the specifics be given by the auditors of those accounts so that we can visibly see, and they will form an opinion in relation to pay policy and give us some assurances in that regard.
