Our point here on the last occasion related to the specific six we had in because some of those were the serious outliers. We refer specifically to those.

What the Comptroller and Auditor General might assist us with is - it is public knowledge but not member seems to know about it - this idea that they all are doing two sets of audits. It tripped out that Galway had KPMG doing an audit and then the Comptroller and then Auditor General does a different audit on substantially the same figures but in a different reporting structure and the bottom-line figures are not the same because they are for different purposes and maybe different items are included. It bemused the public to think that there are two different sets of financial statements out there.

We need a note on this. It is utterly confusing. We spoke about consolidating accounts. Which set would be talking about? We will need the Comptroller and Auditor General's help on this. Perhaps he has it already covered.
