The following process was followed:

• Upon receipt of the auditor’s report, the President appointed a sub-committee to undertake review of the report’s findings.
• The sub-committee, comprising the independent chairpersons of the Audit and Risk Committee, the Social and Ethics Committee, the Finance Committee, and the deputy president, reviewed the report’s findings.
• The subcommittee, supported by the President, instructed its external legal consultant to review the report and provide guidance on the necessary actions to address its findings and recommendations. 
• The external legal consultant had certain queries with the auditor’s report and requested its own forensic team to consider the auditor’s report.
• The external legal consultant’s forensic team conducted an independent assessment and thorough evaluation of the auditor’s report.  It made its own findings as well as recommendations on various remedial actions to strengthen governance and mitigate risks for the organisation.
• Save for implementing the recommendations relating to governance and compliance the external legal consultant’s forensic team recommended that no other action was required to be taken.
