Somebody with oversight of those institutes would be able to ask why something occurred. Out of those audits, as they are compiled and centralised, somebody could also ask why a particular organisation did not lodge details of its accounts with the Comptroller and Auditor General for the past four years. The latter has happened. Someone might be able to ask why an organisation has not kept up with proper procurement practice as laid down by Mr. Burke's Department. Has Mr. Burke no interest in ensuring, for example, that something like that happens? His Department has all the information. It would be easy to just draw down the figures if the Department has that amount of information.
