I have no problem at all with what is being proposed, and I believe that we have to hold public bodies to account. I have not read the Comptroller and Auditor General's special report. I would imagine, and perhaps I am wrong, that it would give us a glimpse of some of the reasons some public bodies are not up to date with their accounts. Perhaps at the next meeting we should have ten or 15 minutes, or less, for the Comptroller and Auditor General to give us an overview of the main issues. That would inform how we approach those organisations so that we can be fair. In some organisations, there could be perhaps not a good reason, but a reason. Also, concerning process, I would imagine that there is commonality. There is probably an overlap in some of them. If there are issues that need to be improved in the area of process, then that is what we need to examine.
