Italy Too Big To Fail - Snort of Derision!

Italy is too big to fail, economically and politically. If Greece was able to plunge the euro zone into an existential crisis, it doesn’t bear thinking about what damage Italy could do if it ran into serious financial difficulties @JanDHildebrand #Italy https://t.co/saMO4aSQmJ

What On Earth Possessed The FCA??

A ludicrous advert and a ludicrous situation whereby the FCA is encouraging people to make claims!

It is meant to be impartial, as such it should inform people of the deadline; but not encourage them to make the claims.

Late Payment Director

Big firms could have 'late payment director' to pay suppliers on time https://t.co/2cTuopxST1

— Emma Jones (@emmaljones) October 3, 2018

The government has come up with this bollocks idea that is a waste of time and money.

The responsibility for the efficient and effective management of the finances of a company falls under the remit of the CFO. Regarding the specific issues of payment of suppliers, that comes under the remit of the Purchase Manager who reports to the CFO.

Large companies pay SMEs late, not because they are inefficient, but because it is a matter of policy to delay payment to SMEs. A change will only occur when the board deems it necessary!
