I AM indebted to your correspondent Mary Kendal (Letters, September 8) for clarifying my assertion that EU accounts weren’t available for general scrutiny.
I had got a tad muddled over the fact that the EU accounts had never been “signed-off” which I had (wrongly?) interpreted as their being so inaccurate they weren’t published.
A Cox in his correspondence (Letters, September 12) pointed out to Mary Kendal that the EU accounts have, in actual fact, not been signed-off for over 20 years.
That was what I had thought equated to the accounts being rather suspect and weren’t worth anything they portrayed when they were published.
That one fact that the EU accounts have not been signed-off for over 20 years illustrates, surely, that the true accounts aren’t available for general scrutiny.
