If the audit committee or officials of the HSE had gone to the bother of finding out, matters would have been different. Accounting and audit committees and individual accountants and auditors do not assume, rather, I presume, they act on fact. Perhaps there is too much of a presumption on the part of the HSE, which is why this double standard is being applied all over the place.
