It's FAB season

It's FAB season at ITER. Like every year since 2008, the Financial Audit Board (FAB) will proceed with a meticulous audit of the project's finances, sifting through thousands of documents, crunching numbers, conducting interviews and requesting external evidence such as vendor invoices, salary slips and bank documents to confirm revenue, expenditures and other financial data.
