saunaman Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 A chartered accountant friend of mine recalls training alongside members of the "big four" in the 1990's . There were no modules about employment training , or about how to audit or report upon a safe NHS . Fast-forward 10 to 15 years , and we now find that Deloittes ( Big 4 ) own EdExcel who certificate work experience programmes ....... Watching a Commons Select Committee meeting from 3rd July it turns out that Grant Thornton ( another of the "big 4" ) failed to disclose problems at Morecambe Bay NHS Trust and failed to report problems to the Care Quality Commission . Members of the big 4 accountancy firms regularly get themselves seconded into Govt departments , advise them on new tax laws , then go away and tell their clients how to get around the rules they have reccommended . Look at who runs the " respected" Kings Fund - Nigel Edwards , Senior Fellow of the Kings Fund and Director of Global Healthcare Group at KPMG ( one of the Big 4 accountancy firms )...........

Mecky Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 I'd say media companies run the show because they try to shape public opinion because public opinion is all that matters. Without public opinion on your side people are nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
