Ms Margaret Nugent:

I did not bring an extract of it. However, what I did was I essentially put it down - currently we are operating outside the Government's financial procedures because of the complexity of trying to unwind the different entities that are there and the practices that existed traditionally - as a risk. In other words, the recommendations need to be actioned to ensure that we move forward in a proactive manner. I have it there so that it is constantly there to make sure that whatever needs to happen happens. It is still a risk because there has been a number of years trying to unwind these various entities and we do not know how long that will continue for. It is a risk for the organisation given that we are still operating outside the Government's financial procedures. That is why it is there.
