Not a ‘Happy New Year’ for thousands |
The Business Secretary, Greg Clark, has outlined the steps the business department has taken following the liquidation of Carillion. Following the appointment of the Official Receiver as liquidator, the Business Secretary has written to the Insolvency Service and the Official Receiver asking that the statutory investigation into the conduct of Carillion’s directors is fast-tracked & extended in scope. This means the Official Receiver’s investigation will consider whether those who are, or were previously directors of the company may have caused detriment to those owed money, including workers & businesses affected. Alongside this, the Business Secretary has also written to the chairman of the Financial Reporting Council and asked it to conduct an investigation into the preparation of Carillion’s accounts past & present, as well as the company’s auditors. |
