Ms Laverne McGuinness:
Certainly, issues have been flagged where we need to make improvements. The effectiveness of the internal control has been flagged regarding areas which require improvement. That has been set out among areas to be improved as part of the work plan. We have matters there which we can furnish to the committee. The Comptroller and Auditor General has represented at each of the audit committee meetings we have attended by the person with responsibility for our accounts in that office as much of the work of the audit committee this year has involved going through the detail of our annual report and annual financial statements which must be signed off at the end of March. They have been gone through forensically by the chair of the audit committee who is independent. There are things we must improve and we know that.
