Incredible. ~:eek:


A FINANCIAL shambles at the Home Office resulted in its accounting system producing figures showing transactions of more than £26 trillion: one and a half times higher than the GDP of the planet, according to a report published today.

Serious weaknesses in controls in the department exposed it to a high risk of fraud, irregularity, poor value for money and waste in its financial operations.


“When the gross transaction value of debits and credits within this data was totalled, they each amounted to £26,527,108,436,994: almost 2,000 times higher than the Home Office’s gross expenditure for 2004-05 and approximately one and a half times higher than the estimated gross domestic product of the entire planet,” a note from the National Audit Office said.

So 1+1=3 :laugh4:

And the government says that education standards hav'n't dropped.

:sweatdrop:

Hmmm, try and get away with that kind of accounting on your VAT return and you won't see daylight for the next twenty years :laugh4:

Maybe they were envious of the size of the U.S. national debt?
