Dr. Brendan Murphy:

It would depend on the nature of the allegation. KPMG adopted a phased approach. It was asked to do certain things in the first phase and then, depending on the outcome of that, the option was there to proceed to additional phases, if necessary. The audit committee did this in an effort to retain control over the cost of the exercise. There were a number of allegations pertaining to interview processes. We made the specific interview files and selection board reports available, as well as any documentation that would have gone to the governing body. We also provided the minutes of governing body meetings where appointments would have been made. It is my understanding that on the basis of that information, KPMG was satisfied that the allegations were unfounded.
