On 3 August Quantexa finally produced its overdue accounts for y/e March 2022 (yes twenty two) audited only 3 weeks earlier. The results look rather "weak" - to use a neutral word.
14 August Chief Operating Officer resigns as Director, and Auditors confirm to CLCL that they have commenced investigation.
Where will it end?
The Directors are all guilty of criminal offences under the Companies Act 2006.
Colin Bell, CEO of HSBC Bank plc, has been a director at all relevant times.
