One was internal audit and the other one was extended audit. Following the findings of the interim report, I implemented the key recommendations, among them being the overhaul of the entire finance and accounts departments. We now have a completely new team of officers in the two departments. I have also insisted all along that the previous officials occupying these positions before the new ones came in must be brought to account for this omission in the accounting processes."}
