Are our auditors, BDO, legally responsible for the accounts?
If so, perhaps it's they who should be informed that SKY have broadcast that they are guilty of aiding and abetting fraud

The Directors are responsible for the accounts and if a company is determined to pull the wool over peoples' eyes, it can be difficult for the auditors.

In my accountancy days, I worked on the audit of one of our biggest clients and we were suspicious that something funny was going on but couldn't pin it down. However it was a stroke of luck that we uncovered it (unless the senior auditor had been quietly told by the newly-appointed accountant where to look). In doing that, we uncovered the first major insider dealing scandal under the relevant legislation.

Auditors just sample stuff and can't look at every transaction. And they aren't tasked with uncovering fraud, just that the accounts show a 'true and fair view'. Any discrepancies, even if uncovered, would have to be significant in the overall scheme of things. You wouldn't qualify the accounts of a £500m turnover company if £10 had gone missing from petty cash a few times.

No it isnt
We should be going after the snide cow Vicky Gommersall as well, didn’t challenge or correct it - in fact she pretty much endorsed everything that was said, with her ‘level playing field’ comment afterwards

Vicky Gommersall is a paid up member of the cult.

Excuse my ignorance, I am trying to piece together whats been said but the video has gone private.
Can someone explain who, how, why, where, when and whats happened, I seem to have missed it.
Thank you.

My responce from the Sky bullshit

Dear Mike,


Thank you for your email.


We have already been in touch with Sky Sports News regarding this broadcast. Sky have now removed this clip from their whole estate, and have sent written reminders to all presenters of the need to challenge unsubstantiated claims, such as the ones made here, in the future.


Best,

MCFC Press Office

A rather doggy looking bird, a freelancer who sells herself to anybody, particularly the bbc, said that clubs like City and PSG cook their books and the whole World knows , an even more doggy Liverpool supporting Sky presenter readily agreed with her point of view, that's it really. All live on Air .

Basically sky sport news were interviewing a so called 'financial expert' about juventus. For no apparent reason she dragged psg and us into it saying we have, (exact quote) 'fiddled the books' The presenter then, without challenging her, said ' ye, it's not a level playing field is it?'

I'm not a specialist in defamation, mate, but I think your lawyers may have let you down. First, it's true. But second, even if you can't prove it to be true, in order to be libellous, a statement has to harm the reputation of the person involved. How can that possibly damage Sven's reputation? They should have told him to fuck off and they'd see him in court, though it's hard to criticise an outcome that involves money going to charity.

Yeah… but would Sven have to make it stand up in court?

Could it be classed as slanderous as it’s the spoken word?

From way back to my 6th form days it was explained to us that the difference between libel and slander technically is not that libel is written and slander is spoken although it most often is. The difference is that libel is a permanent record and slander is a non-permanent record. So, for example, a recorded TV interview is a permanent record so an unsubstantiated slur is libel whereas if someone wrote in the snow an unsubstantiated slur such as "X is a thief and a murderer" the snow would eventually melt, the slur would disappear and it would be slander.

I'm sure our learned friend @gordondaviesmoustache will be able to either confirm this or call me out as a know nowt buffoon.
