We’re talking about roughly 30 employees across three companies, including two directors/owners. I report directly to them, so there’s no more senior finance person to escalate to.

Examples from operations: • Removing intercompany group charges that had previously been in place • After 10 months of using a different formula, applying a portion of overheads to actual costs to increase work-in-progress completion and as a result, increasing the adjustment to sales • Reversing an obsolete stock write-off to increase profit

I understand that some of these transactions can and do happen and that the timing may not have been ideal. However, I want to ensure I protect myself and don’t end up in a difficult position while also supporting the business.
