I am not going to quote it but about what was recommended as a learning exercise prior to what we are talking about. It is stated the design of any scheme should be "to reduce litigation costs", in particular. Reference is also made to "accountability arrangements". This is very important and highlighted. Reference is also made to "expenditure forecasting methodology", to which we will come back. I am referring to the forecasting of expenditure over time. Also mentioned is "effectiveness in meeting intended objectives and outcomes". Did anyone look at those recommendations at board level from day one to determine how improvements could be made?
