I would like to ask our pro-Europeans to explain why Brussels cannot get their accounts audited for the eleventh year running. |
Client money is kept in a segregated client account, which is audited each year by one of the big four accountancy firms. |
Results are based on statistically valid random samples of members and are rigorously audited. |
The audited statements made the financial part of the due diligence process a walk in the park. |
The boards, being separate legal entities, operate under company law and are also audited annually by the comptroller and auditor general. |
First, the bank's accounts must have balanced, so that no discrepancy was apparent when they were audited. |
