To focus on the accounting methods used, the IMF's report was published on 16 July 2013 and made various recommendations. In terms of having real-time information or as close to it as possible, I note the requirement for the Comptroller and Auditor General to publish audited accounts which should be ready for scrutiny by June. No progress has been made on this recommendation. I believe September is the date in that regard. Do the witnesses have any response?
