Seán Fitzpatrick
This afternoon.
A decade after the collapse of Anglo Irish Bank and 12 years after he temporarily transferred loans valued at up to €122m without disclosing this fact to the board and the bank’s auditors…
Seán FitzPatrick has been expelled from Chartered Accountants Ireland after a disciplinary tribunal found he had brought discredit on himself and his profession.
They don’t mess around.
Justice at last.
Let this be a warning to others.

Great little country all the same to bring discredit on yourself and your profession.
Why did it take 12 years?
this is Ireland, low standards in high office are the norm
That’s because they don’t mess about!!
Your question would be duly processed through the right channels.
And so close to Christmas too.
The cold stinging tears of shame will fall.
I’m a big shouter outer of Bodger’s headers
But this one absolutely nails it like none other before
I’m pretty sure if I defied my own profession by blatantly dodgy window dressing activity, so dodgy it crashed a bank and wiped out 1,000s of peoples life’s savings
If I even once mislead my Board
Or even attempted to misrepresent the true financial position of a regulated entity
I’d say the ACCA would have me suspended within a fortnight
and out and fully mortified within a year
The reason they gave for it taking so long is that they wanted to wait until the legal stuff finished. Didn’t want to predjudice anything.
I see his solicitor says it will put Seanie “to the pin of his collar” to pay the €25k fine.
Time for a whip-round…surely?
Seanie gives off bad vibes.
They really have thrown the book at him
Now there is the face of the most dangerous financial bombing fundamentalists
who shouldn’t be allowed walk the streets
He and his ilk are our very own and very real crISIS
Has he been let back into the Golf Club yet?
Who from the TSB has been brought to court over the dodgy transfers at the time?
