Did it agree with all the phraseology, such as that on cheques as opposed to transfers. It seems very unusual for an accounting practice.

The financial controller is going to send us the terms of credit for the €100,000, including the date by which it was to be paid back. Given that the witnesses were raising this as part of what we were talking about today and given the very specific references to dates, I am surprised they do not know when they were supposed to have the €100,000 paid back. They are not willing to tell us what category it fell under, broad and all as it is. I cannot see an answer as breaching data protection guidelines in any shape or form. For how long did the witnesses know the €100,000 was coming over the horizon and going to affect cash flow? As outlined, there are 24 accounts, 11 of which are for specific funding projects and structures. There are 13 others. Of these, everything is paid out of one. The witnesses cannot tell the committee how much money was in the other 12 in the specific month or week in question.
