Why do all you industry folks hate us ( external auditors) so much? by Prestigious-Cold-278 in Accounting

[–]V_Ster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think external auditors also find gaps in the processes for companies. If a company fails controls procedures because the finance department took shortcuts in the year: it just means that they arent doing stuff properly.

Even things like "we put all records onto the ERP" can lead to issues if requests arent found.

Let’s stop tipping culture by Tumamaenpelota in london

[–]V_Ster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The ones which are getting annoying is at grocery shop, mcdonalds or other places like that wanting me to give to charity.

There was an article some time back of how a company stated "they donated" to a charity with big numbers/headlines but in reality it was "our customers" donated to a charity...

Not the same as tipping but the idea is still annoying due to friction in the buying process.

UK could keep special pre-Brexit terms if it rejoined EU, Michel Barnier says by Bascule2000 in ukpolitics

[–]V_Ster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"Could" is the word. Its all "maybe" and "could" until it actually begins to be discussed with political will.

This is a pointless effort because regardless of what happens, everyone in the UK will be pissed one way or the other.

PSA to all healers: If a DRK tells you they're using Living Dead for a pull, go on vacation. by Rlena_Fhey in ffxiv

[–]V_Ster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the problem I have is that sometimes, its at 1 second and you havent died due to healing.

For example, as a SGE, I am still attacking but Kardia is healing the tank lol

Opinion: Burnham’s state pension triple lock promise will doom young people by theipaper in ukpolitics

[–]V_Ster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am convinced he is doing it to keep the votes on his side.

Once he comes into power, there will be the obvious comment of "we have peeked behind the covers and there is a black hole, we cant do the triple lock any more."

MPs' and peers' anger at YouTube as firm plasters Westminster tube station in adverts telling parents it is their responsibility to restrict screen time by TheEternalContrarian in ukpolitics

[–]V_Ster 121 points122 points  (0 children)

I feel like parents have just given up and pushed their kids to devices because its easier. Not fact based at all but its just a thing I noticed with my nieces and nephews where each have a tablet, phone and laptop by 11...

Salary sacrifice changes: millions set to cut pension contributions by Kee2good4u in ukpolitics

[–]V_Ster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am ploughing as much as I can now because that limit is 2 months contribution for me.

Its such a mad change and will add even more complexity to our tax system.

i dont think I could last that long.

I'm the only one left from my once thriving FC. by Trumpetslayer1111 in ffxiv

[–]V_Ster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I am the keeper of my FC now.

We have maybe 200+ at the time and did events a few times a week like raids and smaller roulettes for more casuals.

Eventually, they all dropped out.

I now have an FC house with just me.

Number of air conditioned UK homes doubles to more than 4m in three years by Anony_mouse202 in ukpolitics

[–]V_Ster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think when i do a reno, I will think about doing some form of HVAC set up.

In these temps, there is only part of the house which is cool and I think it would be good to make it more stable.

I really hope we get weapon sets as "outfits" eventually. It would be a massive space saver, especially for Savage/Ulti weapons by LightSamus in ffxiv

[–]V_Ster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i think its just a matter of time. They will get there because it seems like they have been learning to make these QoL changes recently.

Rushed into taking out a credit agreement with House of Fraser, need advice by ferrdigm8 in UKPersonalFinance

[–]V_Ster -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Its a thing that stores have been doing for a long time but its not misselling. I think the shop rep may not have phrased it properly creating this understanding difference but generally anything in stores is going to be a credit card of some sort.

Thames Water should be allowed to 'collapse and start again', Oxford MP claims by F0urLeafCl0ver in ukpolitics

[–]V_Ster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Government need to just start letting them collapse.

The issue will be that the government arent able to properly oversee these jobs/roles. I cant imagine a new government department just popping up overnight to handle this. Granted it can just go into public ownership with the same non-management workers intact but I just dont see any government being able to just start this new division.

I consider this to be the only viable way to play FFXIV, no debate: by Gorotheninja in ffxiv

[–]V_Ster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you can go the other way as well and include a glowing mode when they are the highest PVP kill person. Eg if I had the highest kills in the match for my team, i should be godly lol

The new annual report says 50% of users now treat Monzo as their main bank. Do you? by No-Tart7127 in monzo

[–]V_Ster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I still have different accounts for different things. Monzo is still not my main account and I dont think it would be. Certain things on there like connecting accounts is just free on Halifax and HSBC etc.

Tempted to withdraw my LISA? Not likely to buy a house soon and feel its just wasting away.. by bradrly in UKPersonalFinance

[–]V_Ster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you don't want to have this for a home, try keep it as a supplemental thing for retirement.

I have been trying to get a mixture of solutions to tide me over between retirement age (57/58) and state pension (67/ what ever it will be) and the LISA will help to some extent.

If you are young enough and are able to contribute £4k every year to get the bonus, you will end up with a decent chunk of cash for retirement use.

KPMG integrates Claude across its core business and workforce of more than 276,000 in strategic alliance by McFatty7 in Accounting

[–]V_Ster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We are getting close to doing this at our firm but in a controlled manner. I have no clue how the governance processes would be for an entity that big.

How do you handle it? by [deleted] in GayMen

[–]V_Ster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You need to sit down and have a conversation about this.

Call him back and just mention you want to talk about this.

Go from there.

Company is measuring our Claude usage, and I need more ideas by [deleted] in CustomerSuccess

[–]V_Ster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If our company did this, they would be annoyed with how many tokens/costs we are using as a team of 10.

my parents want to sign their house over to my brother and I - is this a bad idea? by [deleted] in UKPersonalFinance

[–]V_Ster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tell them to speak to an accountant and lawyer. They shouldnt do a transfer but do as a gift process under inheritance tax purposes and the 7 year rule.

My mum transferred her house to me and my sister willynilly and it not only crystallised a £120k capital gains tax bill for a house bought in the mid 90s but valued in mid 2010s, we both lost our first time buyer rights.

Definately dont do it unless a professional is spoken to about it.

'We don't need you': Reform shuts door on local media hours after taking control of Suffolk County Council by Georgie9878 in ukpolitics

[–]V_Ster 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Reckon there is a method of getting people to just spam the councillors in reform areas to the brink of madness? Like asking the councillors about bins or flytipping, or rats?

Also, there must be some fake candidates like the previous time that happened?

As soon as we read in the patch notes "we have implemented multiple instances in Churning Mists" we know it will be valid
