The issues I want to raise today are more general. I might bounce around a few things. I want to touch on an overriding theme that might help me in the future inform how I understand the running of the country and, indeed, how we spend our money. To clarify, the overview of the brief states that the Accounting Officer of the Minister for the Department has a number of key statutory responsibilities for public administration and spending, including the provision of formal sanction for public expenditure oversight and control of public spending, setting the general accounting policies for all appropriation accounts and issuing directions around public financial management and procedures and standards for corporate governance of public bodies. Is that correct?
