Auditors lubricate capitalism, keeping finance's gears smoothly a-whirl, so investors can move money in and out of companies without poring over their books or walking their facilities. Without auditors, capitalism's gears would grind to dust:

Unfortunately for capitalism, auditing is irredeemably broken. The Big Four auditors (#PWC, #EY, #Deloitte and #KPMG) have merged to monopoly, becoming #TooBigToFail and #TooBigToJail.

@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…).
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.
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).
that 15,427 page #GK8 document filled with #CelsiusNetwork's creditors personal detail is quite an amazing document.
i have so many questions, but let's start with:
1. Why are there an enormous numbers of creditors in countries GK8/Celsius aren't supposed to do business with?

#NorthernData published several press releases since the BOY, but omitted most of the relevant information.
The company missed its already lowered guidance, is sued by $RIOT for $114m and auditors issued a going concern warning
The company missed its already lowered guidance, is sued by $RIOT for $114m and auditors issued a going concern warning
$NB2 guided 100k ASIC miners for 2022, 200m to 250m revenue and adj EBITDA (excl. trading losses) of up to 75m. They missed all of them. Only the mined BTC were slightly above the lower end of the guidance
Partners cut ties with #NorthernData which leads to a revenue decline of at least $25m. On top, $RIOT is suing Northern Data for $114m, the #Bafin and public prosecutors are investigating the company.

Freunde der gepflegten Prüfungsunterhaltung, es wird mal wieder Zeit. Ein neuer Bericht wurde veröffentlicht, dieses Mal zur #Adler Group. Natürlich nehme ich ihn mir gern wieder vor, um zu schauen, was der Bericht im Vergleich zu vollmundigen Pressemitteilungen besagt.

2/13 Er zijn 3 Soorten beleid sinds de start van de Pandemie in Jan.-Mrt. 2020.
1. #ZeroCovid: Beperk Besmettingen, roei 't virus uit.
2. #WeinigCovid: Beperk besmettingen.
3. #HerdImmunity: laat het virus rondrazen in afwachting van vaccins.
Hieronder alle 3, met hun impact.

In het rapport Dit zijn de lessen van 1,5 jaar coronacrisis, dat deze donderdag verschijnt, is #KPMG zeer kritisch over de door het kabinet gevolgde strategie en de resultaten daarvan.
Er zijn in Nederland meer doden gevallen door dit beleid! 🔥

Wir veröffentlichen heute 4.228 Seiten Akten zum #Dieselskandal. 2018 haben wir Andreas #Scheuer aufgefordert, uns dazu umfassende Informationen zuzuschicken, mit Berufung auf #IFG und #UIG.
Das haben wir in drei Jahren Rechtsstreit gelernt:

1/ Das #IFG muss grundlegend reformiert werden. Wir brauchen nach der #btw21 ein echtes #Transparenzgesetz. Denn aktuell können staatliche Stellen das Transparenzprinzip ad absurdum führen und ins Gegenteil verdrehen – wie in unserem Fall #BMVI und Andreas #Scheuer.
2/ Zwischen #Staat und #Zivilgesellschaft besteht eine große Waffenungleichheit. Andreas #Scheuer und #BMVI haben mehr als 300.000 Euro in die Hand genommen, um unsere Anfrage mit Hilfe einer sehr teuren Anwaltskanzlei (#KPMG Law) jahrelang abzublocken. m.tagesspiegel.de/politik/vertus…

1. We all saw the #destruction caused by visible #looting in #SAUnrest & communities are reeling from the impact. But about 1000 times of what it will cost to repair last week’s damage, was “invisibly” looted through #StateCapture & #corruption. Here are some highlights

2. According to @ShadowWorldInv1 the #ArmsDeal of the 1990’s cost SA an estimated R2,2 billion looted to pay bribes and kickbacks. To date nothing has been recovered. Money that could have changed the poor’s lives wasted on #GrandScaleLooting.
3. In 2015 @CompComSA found #construction companies #GroupFive, #WBHO, #BasilRead, Murray&Roberts, #Aveng & #StefanuttiStocks guilty of #colluding when building 2010 FIFA World Cup stadiums. This added R14 billion to construction costs. (Your taxmoney!)

THE BSc/HND DISPARITY: A THREAD.

First, here's a background to myself. I had ND (Distinction), HND (Upper Credit) - this was because I was into full time business and couldn't concentrate on my studies. Then of course, I had BSc(First Class). Please, do note that I stated this just to provide clarity. (2)
Clarity, to show that I have experienced both worlds - I'm on a pedastal where I can address this objectively. For the young ones among us, please learn and quit needless arguments. When your future is at stake, you need to let go of being self opinionated and listen.
Andreu Riera founded #Scytl in 2001. The cryptography expert came up with the idea during the 2000 U.S. presidential election.
Although, Riera died in a car accident 2006, missing out on Scytl’s biggest phase of growth and its sunset.
