Deloitte statement on MG Rover Appeal Tribunal report

Following publication of the MG Rover Appeal Tribunal report, which overturned eight of the 13 findings from the original Tribunal, please see below a statement from Deloitte.

A spokesperson for Deloitte UK said: “We are pleased that the findings of failing adequately to consider the public interest and deliberate serious misconduct have been overturned. We take such responsibilities extremely seriously and these findings were entirely unreflective of the integrity and values of our firm. However, we accept the Tribunal’s findings that aspects of our client engagement processes could have been better. As part of the continuous review of our internal guidelines, which have been strengthened regularly in the 14 years since this project, we will consider whether any further action is required.”
