Mr. Ken Spratt:

We have a lot of agencies. We put a huge amount of time and effort into our central governance unit, which works with the line divisions - in this case, it worked with Dr. Walsh's division - to ensure that we are bringing very high standards of governance oversight to bear. I am very keen to make sure that all of our quarterly governance meetings with all of our agencies are being done in a way that is consistent, but also in a way that ensures that there is fairly strict oversight on our part. The internal audit unit looked at that particular unit's oversight of the RSA rather than the RSA itself.
