We are finalising the terms of reference this week. I received the draft terms of reference yesterday. They will be finalised this week and I expect the external audit to start within the coming weeks. It should not take more than a number of months. It is important, as part of the broader accountability and oversight, but also transparency around what other issues could be identified in the context of the three that we are now aware of, to have that happen quickly. That will be reflected in the breadth of the terms of reference that we establish.
