Best of luck to all those getting FAE Results today. I remember getting mine - 9 years ago now. Found it a major anti climax as I knew I’d passed the day I finished them.
I’m heading for a celebratory lunch with some my FAE co-workers around 3pm and will be in the Dawson St area for pints from around 6pm if any forumites would like to catch up and talk shop.

Thanks for the invite, mate. But I’ve got the apartment to myself this evening and plan to watch RTE’s coverage of Ireland-Bosnia in full in on RTE Player when I get home from work.

That’s the dream right there.
I presumed you’ve pencilled in a shit with the door open too? Probably what I miss most about living alone.

Anyone here work with Klynveld Peat Main Goerdeler?
Some craic on the emails this morning I’d say? We are an all island network, oh no we’re not. Lol.
Big 4 till I die. In jail.
I was hired to the KPMG / SKC graduate programme by one of the 4 arrested. I’m sure it’s a little mix up which will be easily resolved.
As an aside, it irks me that Big 4 firms are described as companies in many media outlets. While it is legally possible for audit firms to be companies, the normal entity type is partnership in Southern Ireland and Limited Liability Partnership in Her Majesty’s United Kingdom.

Totally agree on the company vs partnership pal. It’s shockingly poor grammar.
No it’s not pal.
It’s just plain wrong. It’s legally wrong.
A black day for the profession
4 KPMG partners arrested in Belfast
The cunts have clammed up on us pal.
Has KPMG girl released a statement yet?
They did this morning but nothing on here.
I don’t think it’s great for them to have 4 partners arrested in connection with a tax scam. Probably not something they should be getting caught up in.
Agreed, pretty embarrassing when four partners can’t even pull off a tax scam.
This brought tears to my emigrant eyes…
