Friday Workout - Auditing the Auditors; Recounting our Blessings
- Chris Haffenden
Once again Adler Group dominated news flow and our attention this week. After the release of KPMG Forensics’ special report and its aftermath, we were intrigued to see what the auditors at KPMG Lux would make of their colleagues work in Frankfurt. The deadline for the FY 21 accounts for the under-pressure German Real Estate group was 30 April, and when they didn’t arrive after last Friday’s close, we spent most of Saturday morning hitting F5 on our keyboards.
The accounts eventually landed late am. But were they audited? That depends on your point of view — and spoiler alert it will lead you deep down into the rabbit hole of auditing qualifications.
