Record-keeping for communication and disclosure disbursement. We are available to answer any questions. I appreciate that. Do we have any questions or discussions? Do we have a motion ? I reached out to the staff which were very helpful. I wanted to go through the procedure a little bit at the IAR stage. There was a correction , but there was an issue that it was not corrected and there was a subsequent change. Mr. Chairman? With there was an amended report following February, 2020. The bulk of the activity occurred in 2018. The West $200,000 that was not reported . That is on the disbursement side. Once the committee was informed of the audit, and after we completed the review, we had a conference regarding the findings. After the conference, and right before the issuance of the audit report, they did publicly correct the record. And so it appears in the audit report . That is different from the previous audit from about 2018 cycle where they filed an amended to the report. They did publicly correct the public record. So they had a title in the work that was correctly. They only corrected the public record after being told of the audit. And that was included in the report. >> Thank you. Do we have any questions?Do we have a motion ? >> In the consideration in the fact that they corrected the highlight, I will make a motion to change this path correctly.
