i showed up at tva and, of course, i knew that tva at nuclear power plants across the tennessee valley and my assumption was those nuclear plants presented the greatest risk so that would be at the top of any risk matrix that we put together. after a few days of being school in what risk assessment really was all about i discovered that the real risk of tva wasn't a nuclear plant. it was the coal and acquisition of coal and other fossil fuels. because that's where the vast preponderance of money was spent, and by the way, while there might be high impact of an event at a nuclear plant, the likelihood was significantly mitigated all the controls and all the oversight on all the other agencies that had a role to play. so i learned very quickly that risk is really two-dimensional. it's really about impact, but it's also about probability or likelihood. you have to take both of those into account if you're going to be out there in this environment trying to decide what are the risks and where she we dedicate our audit coverage. i learned early in my perhaps quickly the risks can change. i

one of them when i was at tva i was the ig, new to the organization, trying to establish some working relationships. one of the things i would get is i would get a regular report on the travel plan of individuals within the organization, anybody traveling outside the united states. there was a corporate starr report put together. monday report floated across my desk and it was, it indicated our chairman of the board was going to be traveling to paris and the rationale was to attend the paris air show. so we were at that time, we were just a lightning rods for congressional criticism because the senate was in the hands of one part in our chairman was in a different party. there was a lot of the stuff back and forth, and so i thought we are going to get criticized if it gets out. and so i debated him do i say something before it happens or do i just wait and hope that it doesn't get out? and i said i think it's important for me to be part of the conscience of this organization even as the ig. i picked up my foot on a cold and i just said, hey, i got the report and you are certainly free
