These are my links for April 17th:

• Drugs company moves to cut tax bill | Business | guardian.co.uk - Good to see that some objective comment on Shire has got into the press. That from the CBI is complete rubbish and the British Chamber of Commerce have said stuff that is just wrong
• HSBC in disclosure dispute - Accountancy Age - Let'sbe unambiguous: the idea of 'off balance sheet accounting' has to become a part of history
