HOW refreshing to read that Susanne Gilbert, managing director of York Science Park Innovation Centre, accepts her company did not have "sufficiently robust control procedures in place" ('Company chief's warning after swindle', September 15).
I'm sure this has been a traumatic experience for everyone connected to Innovation Centre's management but, luckily for them, this much-lauded subsidiary of the university is amply funded by that well known bottomless pot of gold containing taxpayers' money.
Ms Gilbert's statement is a clear case of shutting the stable door after the horse has bolted.
I wouldn't want to employ a groom as careless as that!
