Now EC sees it, now it doesn't

What an odd bunch those European Commissioners can be sometimes. Last week, they posted responses to the group’s consultation on auditor liability, to which TS was alerted by a top industry figure ­ the kind that TS talks to all the time.
But, alas, it was far too late in the evening, and TS wasn’t anywhere near a computer.

The next day, TS tried the website, but couldn’t access the responses anywhere.
A birdie from Brussels told TS that there were ‘two webmasters’ ­ resulting in one of them posting the responses prematurely.
Hmm... curiouser and curiouser. Especially as several firms with an interest in such debates had by now phoned up to alert TS of their responses. TS tried again, but they were nowhere to be seen.
Fortunately, the clever folk at PricewaterhouseCoopers had downloaded them all. As did a few of the others. The EC will have to work a bit more quickly to catch out auditors.
