It is the standard approach. We set out to do reviews to arrive at a prescribed outcome. That is why PwC, with the best of respect to its standing in the world as a great accountancy firm, had no place doing this review. Of their own accord, they have decided to stick in at the end a conclusion that says, "By the way, we were right all along". That underpins the waste of €400,000 or €500,000 in the first instance and affects the entire credibility of the rest of the report.
