The next line of the audit report states:

GIAS recommend this [that is, making sure there is verification of hours] as a reasonable control. In addition, there is no clearly documented process in place and no evidence of countersigning of timesheets to verify hours worked for some Accenture personnel.

Mr. Kelly was of the view that there was a problem with the countersigning of time sheets. I am trying to understand what his concern is. His concern is, first, that the electronic system was not used more and second, that there was no countersigning of the paper time sheets. Obviously, somebody authorises the signing off of those invoices.
