-----all these accounts that are arriving very quickly get audited very quickly and that the office has the resources to match the increased rate.

The next issue is Vote 12. On the 2016 accounts, I find it unusual that if a retiring civil servant owes overdue tax, it can be repaid over 20 years. That is inappropriate. I know it is paid to the Revenue by the relevant body, but it is inappropriate that a civil servant, or anybody else, should have 20 years to pay.
