Mr. Joe Hamill:
I would not say the same gaps were everywhere. They were in some places. We regularly look at procurement and talk to our bodies about it. Adherence to procurement is a problem for everybody at times, particularly if there are pressures, etc. That was one area. There is a need to make sure audit committees are operating and are well constituted, etc. We look for assurances with regard to financial procedures. We need to be assured that a risk management process is in place. We seek assurance that risk reporting is happening, is being reported back to management and to the board and is being seen by the audit committee. We zero in on those kinds of things.
