Aside from Mr. McFeely's concerns, I am interested in the concerns expressed directly to the president. Were those concerns not expressed to anyone else in-house? Were the financial reports for each of those years signed off by the audit committee before going anywhere else for examination? All of these problems involving scandalous use of taxpayers' money and the concerns around them seem to have been kept in-house. Is that correct? Should people besides Mr. McFeely have looked at the processes, governance issues and expenditure? Did such people not take the time to look at the accounts? Did no one cry "stop" in that place or understand their responsibilities? Were the accounts just signed off as a matter of form?
