Good morning, everyone, and welcome to the 18th meeting of the Audit Committee in 2008. I welcome members of the public and the press to the meeting, and Audit Scotland staff as well. I ask everyone to ensure that mobile phones and other electronic devices are switched off. We have apologies from Andrew Welsh. Sandra White is substituting for him—welcome, Sandra. Cathie Craigie will not join us until later because she is stuck in a traffic jam.
Members indicated agreement.
