Mr. Seamus McCarthy:
For Departments in general, the expectation is that an audit committee is in place. There has been a difficulty over the years, particularly in small offices, with getting people to act on audit committees. In fact, in most cases there is not a payment for anyone who is a member of an audit committee.
