Hi Izumi,
Apologies for the late response from me. Busy times in the office. :)
I agree with your suggested approach and I also think what they have suggested is reasonable.

Often in interviews and in verbal teleconferences, there could be mishearings. I wonder whether there are steps taken during or after the call to ensure accurate information is shared with the same understanding among us, such as exchanging written notes from the call.

To this end, we would plan guide the discussion in the order of the questions, and after you responded to each question our GAO team would verbally summarize the main points that had been shared. You would have the opportunity to correct or add to our summary of the information. In addition, after the call we would welcome any written summaries or responses that you would like to provide. In writing our reports, we typically do not attribute information directly to individuals or groups, but should we need to directly attribute any information gathered from the call, we would contact you to verify the accuracy of the information.
