We were very happy with the audits. Our board has signed off on funding of more than $200k for the coming financial year to begin implementation of the audits, so I would think that’s a measure of the faith we have in the reports. – David Knight, Managing Director, Seven Day Adventist Aged Care NSW Ltd.
