According to Newstalk this morning, ITV missed the goal. Is that true?

keane was liverpools 3rd top scorer this season
If torres and gerrard got injured it would be interesting to see what yous win this season.
If he had of got injured in february then probably still the premiership

Quote from: passedit on February 03, 2009, 04:10:53 PMThere's a huge difference between evasion and avoidance, despite what some in the media might say. Very surprised that someone who worked in tax in the Big 4 would put the two together like that. In Dublin anyway, nobody in the Big 4 will countenance any client who wants to evade tax.Quote from: Declan on February 03, 2009, 03:54:44 PM
Rois maybe I am letting my emotions get the better of me but my reference to the business classes is related to the constant message from people involved in the Financial Services industry telling us of the need for cutbacks etc when they are the very people who caused the situation in the first place. I bow to your superior professional knowledge and know that the external auditors can only verify what is put in front of them but if a loan is on the books at one stage of the year and then not in the end of year balance sheet I'd have thought it may raise some questions in their minds - but that's a simple layman's view of the world. My respect for that profession took a huge hit with the Enron etc scandals and the percption amongst the chattering classes is certainly that they are all part of the golden circle
As a former Big 5 employee myself Declan (albeit in tax rather than auditing) I saw more than enough to concur with your opinion. Audits, while lucrative are merely a means of keeping a foot in the door so that the real money can be made with consultancies (taxevasionavoidance, financial planning etc). human nature being what it is, the hand that feeds is seldom bitten.

Media hype works. Surely the glamour game is against All-Ireland champions and local rivals, Tyrone, who will also bring large numbers of supporters and not AIQF-defeated Dublin, whose few stragglers will fall by the wayside pubs before they get beyond Chapelizod, never mind Ballyshannon ?
Quote from: The Real Laoislad on February 03, 2009, 02:52:22 PMWell no snow in the city centre, unless you count the odd bit of scuttery stuff that turns to liquid on contact with the ground.Quote from: Farrandeelin on February 03, 2009, 02:51:28 PMQuote from: Hound on February 03, 2009, 02:18:53 PM
No snow at all in Dublin today (that I saw). RTE weather forecasters are truly useless (especially the wimmin ).
Snowing at the mo where I am Hound (in Dublin).
Snowing here to where I am(in Dublin)
Quote from: passedit on February 03, 2009, 01:39:39 PMBut did I not read that the only disclosure that had to go into the accounts was the balance at the end of the year - which was properly disclosed. So the letter of the law was not breached?Quote from: Billys Boots on February 03, 2009, 01:34:35 PM
If auditors can't 'find' evidence (even when they're not looking for it) of mismanagement on the Anglo scale, then either: (a) Anglo were masters of deceit, or (b) they're not doing their job adequately. If (a) is true, and the auditors can be codded, is there a point to the 'audit' at all?
Indeed Billy, i'd expect a layman never mind an experienced auditor to spot 82m dissappearing then reappearing annually. I'd be interested to see what the revenue commissioners eventually make of these loans.
Quote from: Hardy on February 03, 2009, 12:59:06 PMIndeed, I fed back Dinny's comments on Best and Girv, and while we were already up to our quota of Nordies, they dumped Dempsey and gave D'Arcy the no. 21 jersey
A scoop in the Ziggy class there, Hound.
Quote from: gawa316 on February 03, 2009, 11:25:50 AMThere isn't any question but he's a better player than Ngog, although he's not an out and out striker.
Can't believe I'm even writing this but can vorinin be recalled from his loan? I would have more faith in him than Ngog
