There have been interesting reactions to yesterday’s press release from the TJN (which was reproduced here) on the research spearheaded by Richard Lupson-Darnell into the causes for UK tax legislation.
Accountancy Age covered it. Thanks chaps. Another accountancy journal confirmed that they would do so within 3 minutes of getting the mail from me with the […]
Dennis Howlett has written some very confused articles on tax evasion over the last few days: so confused that I am not sure where Dennis thinks he’s heading.
His latest is worth reading. Because it’s the most recent it might suggest that he’s been working out his own confusion, because the earlier ones are much harder […]
Dennis Hewlett at AccManPro has been seeking to engage me on the issue of government spending. I have been reluctant to respond as he would wish. The reason is simple. He seems willing to promote websites that have a view of government that is, in my opinion, critical and unhelpful.
I do not share that approach, […]
As readers of this blog might realise, I have been assisted technically in getting it going by Dennis Howlett of AccmanPro, assistance for which I was very grateful as I get to know this medium and the technology it uses. I’m also an admirer of Dennis’ blog, and we share views on some issues.

Dennis Howlett has been musing on developments in the market for the Big 4 as pressure is brought to bear upon them.

Suffice to say, this gives a flavour:
Which leaves me with a question for professional accountants. If you’re not taught the fundamentals of integrity and ethics as a practical discipline based on solid theoretical grounds, then what value is there in […]
Accountingweb in the USA reports that KPMG have done a survey on the effectiveness of audit committees. Since the survey was of the members of such committees perhaps it wasn’t surprising to find that most thought they were doing good job.
Even so, many thought there was still room for improvement. In particular the following needed […]
I realised yesterday that the Feedblitz email system on this blog was not working. So I offer my apologies to all those who have signed up and for whom. I hope, this is one of the first messages they get. Blogging, when you try to do it seriously, is a bit techy. I hope I’m […]
