Only a couple of questions


What were the auditors paid, and what did they do for it


How much will the liquidators be paid


Just asking

I think you probably know that the answers are 'substantial'.

If the liquidators weren't paid, you'd not get anyone to do it and the situation would be even worse for those owed money and not a 'protected' creditor.

I would prefer to ask why banks are protected but small companies aren't?

Especially as the banks would have a fair understanding of the companies financial state of affairs and will have lent monies at no doubt exorbitant rates based on that knowledge, where as small companies subcontracted to Carrilion wouldn't be aware of the financial risks they were undertaking.

Interesting to see how this goes - as a former Carillion employee I'd like to see them swing along with Carillion's so called senior leadership... be nice if our redundancy costs were refunded to the taxpayers.

Good, they are just as guilty as Carrilion and why should the taxpayer fund their incompetence.

I wonder whether, if the OR is successful in their case, creditors who have lost out would be able to follow suit.

In UK terms maybe, but the "big four" used to be the "big five" before Enron put paid to Authur Anderson :eek:

KPMG accused of misleading watchdog over Carillion audit

Accusations come as the Government prepares to sue KPMG over its audit of Carillion in a bid to reclaim £250m on behalf of creditors

The accounting firm is facing a formal complaint from the Financial Reporting Council (FRC) over alleged misconduct amid a long-running investigation into the failure of Carillion, which was one of the Government's biggest contractors before it imploded in early 2018 under £7bn of debts.

Regulators' have complained about information provided by KPMG and its staff during an FRC inspection of how it audited Carillion’s financial statements in the year to December 2016.

Similar accusations have also been filed against KPMG in relation to the audit of another firm, Regenersis, in 2014.
