Oh dear you really couldn't invent this .... The Reform Party's candidate for London Mayor not only admits her Criminal offences for Company Law Compliance failures whilst working for The Crown Prosecution Service .....

https://www.thetimes.com/uk/politics/article/reforms-candidate-for-london-mayor-broke-companies-law-bv70zcj3p  ... but the Solicitors Regulation Authority records show that she renewed her License to practise under the name from her first marriage  ... and still works for the Crown Prosecution Service. If the SRA records are correct, then perhaps she should change her name to "Lie"la . She is certainly living upto her claim that London is Crime ridden A couple of my chums worked with Nigel in his commodity days so "Trebles all round!" rings rather true. What chance of the CPS doing anything about the fetid swamp?

2026 brings yet more compliance failures for KPMG llp and ICAEW

You really would have thought that by now someone at KPMG and ICAEW was even half competent... Who on earth would do business with KPMG or indeed any Chartered Accountant? [Oh of course money launders and criminals will ... silly me]. Certainly reciprocity with the EU over professional qualifications is now pie-in-the-sky.  What do you find when you run the latest Companies House records against the declared "owners" shown on ICAEW records for the Register of Statutory Auditors? Not only do we find 299 persons declared as owners by ICAEW (yes we know....ICAEW says it alone is entitled to set aside and ignore Companies Act defnitions) when Companies House records show they are not. BUT now:we have  1. people declared as not being owners by ICAEW when Companies House says they are (eg Paul Barron) 2. people declared as owners on Companies House records but not on ICAEW records (eg Laura Ann Cox) What a shambles. Another nail in the coffin of UK plc Is KPMG really an acronym for...

QUANTEXA Ltd and The British Business Bank once more demonstrate why Company Law Compliance failures are always a leading indicator of trouble or worse including false statements in accounts.

 ... see previous post ... documents only made available today (more than 2 weeks later) Phew…. The Directors and Auditors of Quantexa managed to sign off the accounts on a Friday, and get them to Santa in time to stuff them down the chimney in Cardiff 5 days later …. but what scams were the Directors and Advisors trying to hide for as long as possible – not least since Vish’s summertime statements about ARR? One Heck of a Lot! My first “snap” review shows the following: Page 12 and Note 29: Major AI product mega-hyped only to abandoned after a year https://www.applytosupply.digitalmarketplace.service.gov.uk/g-cloud/services/626250958862770 and https://www.quantexa.com/press/quantexa-news-intelligence-solution-designated-awardable-for-department-of-defense-work-in-the-cdao-s-tradewinds-solutions-marketplace/ BUT Note 13 on Page 40 makes no write-down for the considerable intangible asset valuation on the balance sheet. That optimism seems completely unjustifiable (s...

[UPDATE 07.01.26] Welcome to 2026 - UK Government continues to sponsor law breaking.

[UPDATE 07.01.26] Proof positive that the Department of Business and Trade is grossly incompetent - a "fetid swamp" as Private Eye called it - and why no-one can rely on the UK as a safe well-regulated environment for investment. I wonder just what pack of lies told by The British Business Bank plc  everyone has been trying to withhold for as long as possible? I wonder what the date of the postmark was on the actual filed accounts - perhaps only Santa knows as he may have dropped them down the chimney on the 24th December. This is now 6 years in a row that Vishal Marria has deliberately and with malice aforethought abused the known deliberate delays in processing at Companies House to hide his and his co-directors false statements for an extra few days. Each set of accounts contains confirmation of Vish's outright lies about prior fund raising. Will anyone ever properly resource Regulators? Not as long as Albion Capital are involved in anything! As for the EU ever again r...
