That comes back to my question that clearly the organisation has the responsibility for the management whereas the individual may have been delegated with the responsibility of controlling the situation. So the management has done everything within its power to ensure that the individual delegated does the right thing but by virtue of being in a management position they will still be held responsible albeit they do not have the control by virtue of an individual having been delegated that responsibility.
