Yes and no.
Yes, if come this close not to make it.
No, after a stunning season that has surpassed almost all of our expectations.
I thought top 10 with an outside chance of sneaking a PO spot was realistic so I think it's been an amazing season |

There are changes on the horizon which should help break the big 4 monopoly somewhat where there may certain aspects of the work that will get picked up by smaller firms as they partner but the risk there is that you get coziness between firms. There is already an element of this and even time we get a major accounting scandal that involves poor practice we hear talk of change but its is very slow.
I agree that companies should have to change firms every say 4 or 5 years to ensure fresh eyes.
Truth is there is more wok out there than accountants to do it.
If you have kids with an aptitude for figures or an interest in economics or business I can tell you know they will always find work going into accountancy. |

Isn't the Dele fee only applicable under certain circumstances which is has come to nowhere near meeting? So far, wages aside I thought he was effectively a free transfer or v nominal fee. I dont think those additional payment metrics will ever get triggered |

I am not an accountant but do work for one (not big 4)
RE PTV, that was internal fraud with a sophisticated cover up, an auditors role is not detect fraud per se but to confirm that what the company is reporting is an accurate reflection of the businesses finnancial situation, you're effectively marking their home work and checking through the paperwork so in that instance if you have a series of paperwork that reconciles it may get missed as everything adds up and that is tbe primary purpose of the audit. There can be obvious signs of fraud and if an auditor sees those they are of course obliged to flag that to necessary authorities. Auditors should also always treat their clients with a degree of skepticism, ask questions and not just take their word for it and it'd often hear that there is failure.
There are also sometimes the tacit approval of shall we say, unconventional accounting practices (see Enron and if you haven't watched it see if you can find the smartest guys in the room which is v interesting).
As for Everton, they can advise but ultimately they are not the businesses owner and can really only confirm the accounts to be accurate.
Even if Everton go into admin they won't go bust but worst case from the accountants POV is they lose a client which they will easily replace and maybe, if they have made a mistake will get a fine that is insignificant compared to their profit.
It's the coziness of long term relationships which are often most damaging when it comes to auditing. |

Help
It's that simple, sign posting recommendations etc.
I have seen a few posts such as this over the years and the TWTD community has never failed to amaze me with its advise, compassion and understanding.
I have recently found myself struggling mentally, over thinking, worrying too much about all sorts, work, home life, life in general, pretty much everything. Feels like I'm spiralling a bit and can't pull out.
It's not depression, I have experienced depression before and this is different but if i don't fix it soon it may turn into that as well.
I am questioning almost everything, have lost all sense of self confidence and the ability to relax, switch off be in the moment. Its like whatever I'm doing there is an out of body me above whispering in my ear providing not very helpful analysis and critique of everything I do.
I find myself feeling pretty worthless and not deserving of the friendships or relationships that I have. I could and probably should talk to friends but the one friend that I would have reached out to (as a middle aged man I find my circle now greatly diminished) sadly passed away suddenly at the end of last year, I miss them greatly and don't think I have fully processed that yet. Grief council ing is probably in order there but this goes much beyond that.
I am of course looking at therapy, I have had therapy before and it helped a bit but clearly not as much as I thought.
There are some unresolved issues resulting from childhood and the hold that the Mike Hunt of an old man seems to still have over me feels relentless I wonder if it's him in my ear the result of his influence is that confidence does not come easy to me and is easily knocked.
I feel like a rabbit in tbe headlights, frozen through fear of getting it wrong. It being everything.
I'm so clouded I am struggling to think straight and have a nagging feeling my life is about to implode.
I feel like an idiot even writing all of this and though I know I'm not, it doesn't change that feeling of failure in doing so.
Feeling pretty inept and rubbish for not being able to help myself, again I know I shouldn't but I do.
Any advise, input suggestions or recommendations from anyone who has been through similar is very welcome below or in private.
Thanks
