haysmacintyre resigning as auditors

It would be unusual for auditors not to do a final audit before signing off, it's strange jumping ship while it's still active.

Website maintenance surely equals active?
The patient is dead... apart from some movement in his big toe.

I take your point - hence the bracketed question mark added. 

HaysMackintyre's resignation notification is dated 3rd February 2017, not long after submission of the accounts for year ending March 2016 - realistically, they can't just abandon ship mid-stream, as you say there must be a final audit and no doubt is/will be.

Because there is a website standing (not a legal requirement for a Limited Company active or otherwise), that still features an on-line shop for good quality wristbands and a graduated donation button - does that equate to a 'trading' limited company?  If there has been no movement on the income and expenditrue front through the auspices of a website - can it be said that a company is still trading?

The fund accounts for year ending March 2016 are so vague, it's impossible to determine company movement and I don't doubt any final audit report will be anymore enlightening.  The fund has always operated under a cloud of suspicion.

We shall see - or not as the case maybe.

I think the fact that there is a gateway for payment on the website means it's trading, how could they stop somebody from making a payment?
I know it's vague and I'm not a financial whizzkid but I can't see a firm of accountants resigning, wouldn't they wait until the doors were locked and the Mc's told them their services are no longer required?

Anyway, as you said - we shall see, or not see

Forgive me if I don't put that to the test .

If this is what they have tried to do, a UK court would soon undo it on the grounds of ‘fraudulent preference’.
   
Far better ways around to lose assets & monies, which would be much harder to trace and follow.

Technically no doubt you are right but judging by the Sunday Express exclusive headline for tomorrows edition, looks like I was right.

The McCann propaganda machine has been trundling on for ten years - they tend to be a trifle predictable after the first or second year.

Hi Verdi
Have you ever researched the links with these auditors and their connections with Common Purpose ?

Hello Nuffink67 - I hope you are enjoying the forum.

Is that as in Common Purpose the British-founded charity that runs leadership development programmes around the world?  If so, or not as the case maybe, do you have a specific reason for asking - do you know of an interesting connection that could lead somewhere if researched.

Personally. I'm not aware of a connection but then I guess HaysMacKintyre Oservice hundreds of organisations in the capacity of auditors.  I have hwever, wondered if they are or have been associated with one or more of the organisations connected to the Find Madeleine campaign - like Kennedy's Litium Holdings - or Branson - or Green - or Freud Communications - or Jon Corner's River Media - Glenfield Hospital -  or ......

They like to restrict the freedom of press, but lately there has been so many comments being allowed in various news areas being moderated in simpler terms. They were associated with these auditors and are staunch against free speech. Just thought there might be something to the loosening of the press.
With the auditors gone etc etc

I admire your optimism - all I can say is just wait for tomorrows tidal wave of pro-McCann headlines and see if you still feel that degree optimism this time Monday morning.

You dont seem to have started many threads with any research results. Am I searching correctly ?
