Mr. Stephen Mulvany:
Typically, our internal audit reports are released quarterly in arrears. If they have not been released, they will be released very soon. I think that one probably has been released and we are working on implementing its recommendations and going further. We do not want to give the impression that we are saying that our consultants generally or specifically doing anything wrong. We just need to identify where better practices might be required. We see this as a serious issue but one to approach with an acknowledgement of its complexity.
