These are unusual times as we all progress from one video-conference to another and use words like 'Zoom' and 'furlough,' which barely existed in our vocabulary just a few weeks ago. That being said, the work of the Implementation Group continues apace. This group of eight members and the CEO, as the name implies, are managing the implementation of the three major reviews completed last year - the Governance, Finance and Code of Conduct Reviews. The overall aim is to create a well-managed and flexible Institution. My own involvement in these activities began in October 2018 when the Finance Review team was formed. We reported our findings in April last year and we are now well advanced with implementing the changes that were recommended. These revolved around stronger management of the Institution's finances and greater clarity of financial results. The 2018 Annual Report, for example, addressed the latter point and under normal circumstances you would now have been reading the 2019 edition, now delayed as a consequence of Covid-19.
