Mr. Stephen Mulvany:

It will vary. In fairness, audit will find something in a lot of organisations. The issue is the complexity of it, the risk and the proportionate response to it. Ultimately, with a lot these organisations, we are making a contribution to what they are providing so we have to be very focused on making sure the services they are providing are what we have asked for, but their governance is a matter for themselves.
