Bolton /Bury

Not one accountant or auditor has been struck off for Lehmans, Bear Stearns, AIG, RBS, Carillion, ABN Amro, Dexia, Lloyds Bank.
KPMG faces a High Court writ from the Official Receiver acting on behalf of Carillion's creditors.

Big five [now four] firm Arthur Anderson was struck off in its entirety following the Enron scandal and I'm sure individual audit partners have been suspended or struck off in the cases of those other businesses mentioned. Don't forget the auditor is not a forensic investigator and to some extent has to rely on disclosures and representations made by company directors.

I think your issue there is define independent.
The discussion we've been having about an independent EFL is quite simple. Ensure there is a proper divorce between club owners and League administrators and put and end immediately to any form of self-regulation.
