I've not looked if the mainstream media have gone into this much detail on the trading update, as I've read it on the new CEO's internal memo, but Parking Eye is to be offloaded as part of the restructure.

QUOTE
We have identified a small number of quality businesses, including ParkingEye and Constructionline, that do not fit with our core business, for which there will be better owners and a process to maximise value will commence shortly.

I suppose that means we'll be back to the days of threatening letters to Pepipoo from their solicitors once corporate reputation ceases to be an issue again...

I wonder if they've looked at the fact that the new Government proposals might mean they'll have a proper regulator instead of the BPA and forecast a distinct downturn in PE's profits?

I guess all the 'assets' PE claimed to have (unpaid tickets) weren't quite realised as planned.

So, PE was started with seed funding from the labour government, grew to be one of the biggest players in the game, company started to get quite litigious, sld by the founders/owners to Crapita for a thick wedge with a balance sheet full of assets (possibly not mentioning that the return on investment in litigation was quite small), now Crapita are seeking to offload in a fire sale. Doubt they will get their £57M back. I wonder who the winners are?

I wonder if the CEO was fed up with those emails......

I particularly like The Register's description on the announcement.

Carillion then Capita

Audited by KPMG doesn't appear to be a reliable indicator of financial health

Crapita are in nowhere near as deep a poo as Carillion, the new chief exec is following a fairly common practice and getting ALL the bad news out at once, stopped dividends for a year or two, reducing the burden from the pension deficit and giving him some cash to start getting good news out in about two years, it’s what Carillion should have done 3 years back but instead used the bucket of sand approach.

Reminds me of the story that Ted Nugent tried to buy Muzak to shut it down - Kickstarter anyone?
A few carefully-flawed cases to set precedents to wipe out the whole industry perhaps..

They made £6.5M in 2016, I’m not sure you’ll raise enough through a kickstarter to cover that!

Not any more than a credit rating is... Audit opinions are not guarantees, which should be fairly evident from reading one:

QUOTE
We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of X Company as of December 31, 20XX, and the related statements of income, retained earnings, and cash flows for the year then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in XXXX. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of X Company as of [at] December 31, 20XX, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in XXXX.

Rachel must be a multi-billionaire by now, surely she she could buy them out?
