what could possibly go wrong?Originally posted by DimPrawn View PostThere is also a trust/data protection issue here.
Company bank statements, tax affairs, receipts, credit card bills (company ones) get sent to god know who, and there is no control on how the info is managed or secured. There are no data protection laws there.
Was it coincidence I had about £10K of credit card fraud committed in India at the time I was using this accountant?
Maybe.

For dear old Freako, this relates to an accountingweb article about outsourcing to India.
Much quickness and plenty cheapness it would appear.
