This is where I am confused. Ms Licken said that at the governance meetings issues that have been identified are raised, but that she is not sure of the structure that ensures that issues can be caught early. In other words, she is not sure that they can be addressed before they are raised, specifically in terms of contracts. I note Ms Licken's point that an Accounting Officer cannot ever be satisfied that something would not be possible. Is she satisfied that the governance structures in place would quickly and swiftly identify issues and address them?
