MOD Accounts Qualified Six Years Running

As a wee epilogue to yesterday's announcement about the appointment of Jon Thompson (currently the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Defence) as CEO of HMRC and Accounting Officer, I draw your attention to the following extract from the REPORT OF THE COMPTROLLER AND AUDITOR GENERAL ON THE 2014-15 ACCOUNTS OF THE MINISTRY OF DEFENCE:

"I have qualified my opinion for a sixth year because the Department is likely to have omitted a material value of leased assets and associated liabilities from its Statement of Financial Position. 

I cannot quantify the impact of these omissions on the accounts with certainty because, as a result of its accounting policies, the Department has not maintained the records, or obtained the information required to do so...

Sir Amyas C E Morse 
Comptroller and Auditor General 
13 July 2015"

Just saying...

Hat tip to Kevin Reed for pointing this out to me.

Thompson: Very well respected departmental finance chief, though unable to prevent MOD's accounts being qualified :) https://t.co/yL1qwxojcC
