@ArmitageJim @premnsikka 1/ The continuing curious case of the ‘SuperSpry #Superdry CFO guy’. We left off in 10/2020 with the resignation of Nick Gresham, latest in a long line of SuperSpry Superdry CFOs & Superdry finance faux pas’. Next up Benedict Smith, who lasted < a year … ImageImage
2/ before the return of Shaun Wills in 2021, a former SuperSpry Superdry CFO guy, who left under a cloud (reportedly personal bankruptcy) in 2015. “… Shaun emerged as the outstanding candidate for the role” Superdry chief executive Julian Dunkerton reportedly said. Image
3/ In 2022 Superdry’s long serving auditor #Deloitte bailed, after reportedly delayed 2022 annual accounts. Deloitte’s parting gift - a 14 page audit report with a going concern warning & highlighting serious long standing internal control issues. These issues also … ImageImageImage
4/4 reportedly extended to Superdry’s claims under the Govt.’s now notorious COVID support schemes. In 12/2022 #RSM signed up as Superdry’s new auditor. One ponders what’s next IRO finance at Superdry & for it’s seemingly cursed SuperSpry Superdry CFO guys ? Image

@retheauditors @premnsikka 1/ UK audit regulator (#FRC) fines #KPMG £1.25m (+ a former KPMG director fined £50k with a severe reprimand) for serious failures in LSE listed electrical product manufacturer/distributor #Luceco’s 2016 #audit (frc.org.uk/news/april-202…). Image
2/ Luceco IPO’d on LSE in 10/2016 (130p : £210m mkt cap). Luceco’s long term auditor KPMG ‘triple dipped’ as auditor plus tax & IPO transaction services. Saddled up at Luceco as independent non-exec/on audit committee: Tim Surridge, former partner at KPMG transaction services. Image
3/ Installed for the IPO, a shiny new CFO, however, the rot had seemingly already set in. Luceco’s 2016 audit report was declared by the FRC as a ‘dud’, but the accounts detailed the rather fabulous level of KPMG’s £1m fees (£116k audit; £857k IPO related; £49k tax & audit). Image

1/ @ArmitageJim @premnsikka More from the ‘rotten boroughs’ in only the first conviction of an ‘Eat Out To Help Out’ Govt. COVID support scheme blagger (bbc.co.uk/news/uk-englan…). Now convicted fraudster/money launderer Mohammed Ikram reportedly made 19 fake claims (£434k) for …
2/ eight different food outlets through the scheme, most of which were "entirely fictitious". Md. Ikram, now a former Keighley Town councillor was also a member of it’s Finance & Audit Committee. Scant publicly available records seemingly indicate Md. Ikram was a ‘co-opted’ …

2/ ‘double dipping’ auditor/IPO advisor #BDO remains befuddled, the UK’s blind eyed financial regulator (@TheFCA) remains becalmed & trading in HomeReit’s shares remains suspended. Background: ‘how scandal-hit investment fund let down war veterans’ - ; … Image

@ArmitageJim @retheauditors @premnsikka 1/ @TheFCA auth. #Emoney op (neobank) #Revolut reportedly frustrates its own board & raises eyebrows in the accounting industry after spinning a critical #BDO
#audit report as a clean bill of health (ft.com/content/9d2f61…). Image

3/ ‘Under the hood’, #Revolut has gone ‘full tonto’ on crypto, allegedly building on it’s alleged long term ‘association’ with crypto exchange #Bitstamp (which coincidentally withdrew its UK FCA crypto authorisation application - the UK is the largest crypto market in Europe). Image
