They are very small. We have worked with the people in Metals to put in place extra controls so that they are not trading offices, for example having a trader in a designated Trading Office own each book and sign off on profit daily. This process has highlighted the fact that our non-trading offices are not all the same, and cannot reasonably all be the same. Some offices organise logistics things to happen on the ground, some originate (get a price from a Trading Office for every deal), and some execute for Trading Offices (are given a range within which they can execute trades). is a suggestion for how we can make this division explicit. Tab 'Office Models' shows which functions are performed in which type of office Tab 'Office List' shows the actual offices involved We propose to re-examine this methodology in 6 months' time. Buy-in has been obtained from the cc list and the people on the ground. It is worth noting that this approach would have caught Helsinki, except for the Contract-in-a-bottom-drawer, but no system of control can reliably catch that, as was evidenced by EOTT. Are you both happy with this approach? Are there any extra controls you would like to see in place? Thanks, Richard
