And who outside of the superintendent or property manager, who's lists its micro purchasing contracts can review or audit the supplies, services, or other needs listed in a micro purchasing contract.

Because we want to know what guardrails you currently have or what guardrails you currently lack.

Right.

Again, I think I think Nieta can speak better to the current guardrails in place.

We're recommending some additional auditing requirements and review requirements.

We're recommending sort of inserting a whole other level of review into the micro purchase process that I know doesn't exist now.

That is different though than saying that there's no auditing or review available currently.
