Is that not part of the problem because how is it possible that a person who ultimately would have to take responsibility for failures is also the person who was carrying out an internal review? One would have to point out, potentially, if one was to uncover that there were systems failures, that was in part Mr. Field's responsibility. How is it possible that an internal review that would look into financial control failures could be carried out by the director of finance and the financial controller? How would that be perceived as not being a conflict?
