How many beneficiaries were involved? Are there other situations where the Arts Council repeats this kind of exercise? I can see the weakness between 2016 and 2017 where the funds were paid before they had received the accounts so they would not have known they were in trouble. That is a very obvious weakness but does the Arts Council also do this with other organisations or other exhibitions and so on?
