Page 15 of Vol. 1 details the Public Accounts report of July 2012 on the crisis in the domestic banking sector and it notes:

Anglo had poor governance structures and procedures and risk controls during its period of high growth. Weaknesses in these areas were identified by auditors and regulators in 2003, 2006 and 2008. ... Management showed a lack of awareness of risk and focused their attention on business growth.

So, with that noted, Mr. Browne, how do you reconcile these comments with the positive statements on the governance structure of the bank contained in the corporate governance statements each year in the bank's annual reports?
