I am glad I clarified that.

I refer to the Synthesis report. As I understand the process after what happened in Uganda, the heads of mission reviewed their own programmes; there was a meeting and they dealt with common themes. After what the Comptroller and Auditor General reported on in 2012 with regard to a risk dashboard, this is the report and recommendations we arrived at. Some of these recommendations are pretty obvious and one would question whether we should not have been doing these anyway. Point 5.4 states: "The overall finding is that there are weaknesses in this area with insufficient elaboration of the flow of funds and structures around the management of complex modalities". Did we find anything else when these missions undertook their own internal reviews, when there were comparisons? While we were investigating for this report, published in February, did we find anything else about which we should be worried within our systems and procedures in any programme country?
