Interesting that they also refer to 2021 although the previous auditors didn`t mention a problem. I was expecting some sort of qualification if the police investigation had not concluded by the time the accounts had to be signed off as this must give rise to uncertainty but there appears to be no mention of it.

I asked him what he made of the police investigation into the finances of the SNP. Without hesitation or prompting from me he said he found it difficult to reconcile it with the fact that the auditors had signed off the accounts" Surely two retired CAs must recognise that signed off accounts isn`t a cast iron guarantee of anything? You must be aware of the odd accounting scandal that involve audited accounts? Patisserie Valerie, Carillion, Enron? Reply |
| 69. Author: wee eck Date: Fri 30th Jun 2023. 21:37 He said he found it difficult to reconcile the investigation with the fact the auditors had signed off the accounts without qualification. Like me he saw it as an anomaly. He wasn`t taking sides. I doubt the SNP accounts give rise to the sort of issues that might arise in companies like Enron and Carillion though. I`m not aware of the Patisserie Valerie case. Reply |

Author: Perkins Date: Fri 30th Jun 2023. 22:34 Grant Thornton were the auditors of PV for 12 years and were fined 2.3m for incompetence after a 94m black hole was found in the accounts. https://www.theguardian.com/business/2021/sep/27/patisserie-valerie-auditors-fined-frc-grant-thornton I doubt there`s similar issues with the SNP accounts as well but the point stands that it`s entirely possible despite the signed off audit.

| 72. Author: wee eck Date: Sat 1st Jul 2023. 07:10 I just like to hear both sides of an argument, Tenruh. There`s a tendency on here, and also on the Football Forum, for posters to jump to conclusions without knowing the full facts. It`s sometimes difficult to get them though, especially if the media aren`t even-handed in their coverage. Reply |
