MPs accountants - more questions than answers
Kitty Usher's resignation letter had an intriguing couple of sentences....
If so: who and why?
Are any ex-MPs involved with the firm, or are the firm involved in any work for the Fees Office?
Would this firm - by any wild stretch of the imagination - be the very firm who have been asked to provide an 'independent' audit of the expenses claims. Claims that they might very well have recommended to their clients; submitted to the Inland Revenue; and implicitly approved.
We need to know just who she is dropping into the $hit - for this is not an accidental disclosure; it is a deliberate attempt to point a finger - and what conflicts of interest might now be arising.
At all times my actions have been in line with HM Revenue and Customs guidance and based on the advice of a reputable firm of accountants who in turn were recommended to me by the House of Commons fees office. Neither have I abused the allowance system of the House of Commons in any way.Did the Fees Office really recommend a firm of accountants or even a short-list?
