Do the sums
If the accountants have got their sums right, as we might expect, their charges to clients will be sufficient to cover the rent and wage bill plus a profit. So, why is the Scottish community offering KPMG £1.7 million in the form of a regional selective assistance grant via Scottish Enterprise?
In the same week, you report that Caerlee Mills, a high-quality textile firm with a busy order book, has gone into administration. I wonder what Caerlee Mills might have been able to do with such a sum of money.
