According to that note, it did have risk issues. What the witness is saying to me is ridiculous. From my perspective, if I was auditing a company in the private sector and the group financial controller said to me that there were no issues and that the bank balances were okay, I would not just walk away. The witness was relying on Mr. Culhane. His job was to challenge people in An Garda Síochána and to make certain that processes were followed to ensure there was evidence to assure him that the organisation's practices were operating as desired. The Revenue Commissioners should also check this in terms of the number of tax numbers. The witness cannot tell me how many tax numbers are in operation in this entity, which is even more damning.
