Let me clarify that. While the position of Comptroller General as a distinct position is relatively new, there has always been a Comptroller General function; it was the Secretary of the Treasury Board who was also the Comptroller General. What happened was they divided those two responsibilities. So there has always been a central function that prepared, if you will, the financial statements of the government and collected the data from the various government departments.
I believe they have an accounting manual, and I believe they are all on the same accounting periods, and they use the same standards of accounting within government, based on this Treasury Board....
Mr. Timmins might add a few more comments.
