It must also be acknowledged that these are audits where the related report will be tabled later. An audit takes approximately 18 months to complete. So the costs are not necessarily directly related to the audits for which the report has been submitted. For instance, this year's costs will be related to audits we may report on only next year. It is sometimes difficult to make a direct link between the reports tabled during the given year and the costs.
