Again, we're going to have trouble with “prior to receiving this report or not”.
I would say that we do need to tighten controls. We need to act more quickly, more aggressively and more thoroughly in the face of discrepancies. The OAG pointed out a figure of 153,000. At the time of the audit, we ought to have had evidence to show that many of them were discrepancies and weren't cases of fraud. We should have been able to say, “This is the number of fraud cases that we do suspect”, and then we ought to have followed through on 100% of the cases of fraud.
