How odd ? I came away with the impression that:

we would look at the outgoing commercial instructions to see whether they
support the activity of the guys in Chicago with phones in their hands, and
are in themselves wholly appropriate;
we would address the issue of not having taped lines;
we would address the issue of segregation of duties in the office, other than
in Powerpoint
we would get to the bottom of the difference between the AS400 and "Local
Access Database"
we would see a business model that defines how the office functions as an
"origination only" office
we would see a revised timeline for the resolution of the other issues in the
review

Thanks for the meeting yesterday - I think the process does improve the
transparency and accountability of issues raised.

After the call I mentioned to Ted that the meetings might be 'more efficient'
if the specific issues identified during doorstep visits - that underpin
report comments - were validated by the direct controller on 'point' for the
office/business - in this case Marcelo. Ted replied that no harm came from
the current approach and to a certain degree I agree that it is good to get
an immediate collective response to issues raised !However, I thought we
could discuss this for future meetings ( it could be part of the 'how to do a
doorstep review' that my guys requested so they are ready to do their
individual reviews next year ) -will call later

Additionally, I thought I would confirm with you the actions I took down

Marcelo and yourself to identify/communciate the specific control concerns
identified that were not part of the core tasks transfered
Marcelo to add these to existing process efficiencies ( such as systems
improvements etc ) and give a full timeline for all 'doorstep' issues
Tim to send details of outward bound Commercial instructions and to validate
that no specfic exceptions have been recorded to date.
Marcelo to validate that no existing business activities conflict
systematically with the above instructions
All to prepare for full NY review so as to validate compensating controls
exist and function in NY
Marcelo / Me to identify if any cultural issues are left from recent business
communications on roles and responsibilities
Myself to ensure that doorstep issues are included within database and
monitoring process ( on timelines ) happens

Will call later
