It was a decision of Michael Ferguson to start following up in a more formal way on results in audits—not really on the recommendations, but more on results and focusing on outcomes. This initiative started with him. It paused for a little when he passed away, but I committed to picking it up and making sure we moved it forward, especially when I was seeing that so many of the first reports I tabled had long-standing issues that had not been addressed. We needed to try a different way to ensure that entities were staying focused on the commitments they had made.
