Having come from public accounts, I think that usually when things go terribly wrong they sometimes end up in public accounts and with the RCMP. If someone just audited some of the calendars of activity that deputy commissioners were engaged in--golf weekends, being flown about, etc.--the ability to go in and do that sort of auditing could have stopped things well in advance before it really spun out of control within that department.
