Crushed by a horse, now crushing prejudice [00:32]Elite Australian athlete Hacia Atherton spent seven months in hospital recovering from a near-fatal accident in 2017.She was told she may never walk again, but she was having none of it.It took many months after leaving hospital, but she fought the pain and self-doubt to get back on her feet.In the process, she hatched a new mission in life: to make the construction trades a beautiful career for women and men.Her unique approach with Empowered Women In Trades (EWIT) has helped thousands of women take up a trade in an industry where only 3% of tradespeople are female, and she's only just getting started.Construction Skills Olympians [11:12]November saw the WorldSkills UK National Finals, highlighting the talents of the country's up-and-coming professionals.One of the competition's categories was Digital Construction, and Justin Stanton spoke to three digital construction specialists who came away with medals: Rebekah Over, Tom Bowles, and Calam Kearney.The rhetoric of modernisation [20:20]Have you ever wondered why report after report telling the industry to “modernise” never change anything? Or why they seem to bear little relation to the way the industry even works?University of Reading Professor Stuart Green has been studying the construction “improvement” agenda for 30 years.The second edition of his book, Making Sense of Construction Improvement, came out last month, covering the years of austerity, Brexit, and what he calls the “perma-crisis” gripping the industry, marked by a string of disasters including collapsing Edinburgh schools, the Grenfell catastrophe, and the ruination of Carillion.Its overarching theme is the idea that “modernisation” itself is used as a kind of propaganda to deflect attention away from what really stops us improving quality, safety, and productivity.It's genius, he says, because while nobody can really define what “modern” construction means, absolutely nobody wants to be seen as old-fashioned.

In this the first of 2024 we take a quick look into the crystal ball, asking what we might expect in 2024. To help me with this my guest today is Gill Plimmer, infrastructure correspondent at the Financial Times and long-time observer of what makes this sector tick. Gill has spent several decades immersed in the business, finances and politics of infrastructure, writing about a range of issues over the years including the rise and fall of the PFI, the merits of water privatisation, outsourced services including the collapse of Carillion and Interserve, rail franchising and the challenge of meeting house-building targets.And much of this list will, I'm sure, return to the headlines over the next 12 months, alongside the inevitable rows and promises that accompany a General Election.ResourcesFinancial Times websiteGill Plimmer Linked InNational Infrastructure CommissionNational Grid energy dashboardNational Infrastructure Planning Association

This week, Paul is joined by Rudi Klein, the Director at Klein Legal and former chief executive at the Specialist Engineering Contractors (SEC) Group. Rudi was involved in piloting the ‘Construction Act' through the UK Parliament and originated Section 112 of the Act dealing with the right to suspend construction contracts for non-payment.Today's show discusses payment abuse being the industry's dominant business model and what we can all do to change this. We discuss 120-day payment cycles, the demise of Carillion and other large Main Contractors in the recent past, and we turn to Project Bank Accounts and Retentions to change the status quo.--Your free OTB downloadLooking for an Invitation to Tender template?

The Institute for Government was delighted to welcome Sir Jon Thompson, Chief Executive of the Financial Reporting Council (FRC) and former permanent secretary at the Ministry of Defence and HMRC. Sir Jon has led the FRC – which oversees audit and corporate governance reform of the UK's largest companies – through a period of major transformation, and last year the FRC issued record fines, including for misconduct at KPMG following its audits of Regenersis and Carillion. Ahead of standing down from leading the FRC, Sir Jon reflected on his experience of being a regulator and the role that the audit watchdog plays. How far should regulation prevent corporate failures? What is the future of audit reform? And how can regulation keep pace with technological and social change? To discuss these questions and look ahead to some of the key challenges facing regulators in the UK, Sir Jon was in conversation with Dr Matthew Gill, Programme Director at the Institute for Government. Sir Jon Thompson has been CEO of the FRC since 2019. He was appointed chair of High Speed Two in February 2023, and will leave the FRC later this year.

The collapse of Carillion was driven by the reckless behaviour of the company's directors, but the impact of its collapse on the public sector was also down to the government's approach to outsourcing. Ministers have admitted that approach had often been flawed, and that the system of checks and balances had not worked. Four years on, and as the government seeks to make wholesale changes to procurement regulations, this event will assess whether it has learnt the lessons from Carillion. Key discussion points were: Has the government's approach to outsourcing changed? How successful have the government's post-Carillion reforms been? What impact have these reforms had on government procurement during the pandemic? Will the reforms in the proposed procurement bill help prevent future collapses of high-profile outsourcing firms? To discuss these we were joined by: Sally Guyer, Global CEO, World Commerce and Contracting Matthew Rees, Director of the NAO Commercial Hub Gareth Rhys Williams, Government Chief Commercial Officer Kate Steadman, Group Strategy & Communications Director at Serco The event was chaired by Nick Davies, Programme Director at the Institute for Government

0:00 Intro.1:37 Start of interview.3:03 Francine's "origin story". She grew up in Chicago and graduated from Purdue in accounting but "she hated it." She began in internal audit at Chicago's Continental Illinois National Bank and Trust. She later worked with KPMG/BearingPoint in the early 1990s. She also worked at JP Morgan where she focused on Y2K risk. Post Sarbanes Oxley she worked at PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP until 2006. She then pivoted as an investigative reporter and feature writer. At MarketWatch, and for The Wall Street Journal and Barron's, McKenna reported on public company accounting, fraud and financial investigations, and the potentially dubious financial reporting practices of pre-IPO companies. She also started teaching at different universities. She has now joined full-time as a Lecturer at University of Pennsylvania Wharton Business School.17:53 On Ernst & Young's $100 million penalty by the SEC for employees cheating on CPA ethics exams and misleading investigation. To put this case into context, it's important to understand KPMG's case from 2019 ($50 million penalty by the SEC). Note this teaching case study on the KPMG/PCAOB scandal.24:50 Criminal convictions in KPMG case.26:01 EY's role in misleading the investigation of the SEC.31:38 On KPMG receiving its largest UK fine (£14.4M) for providing false information about its audits of Carillion and Regenersis. On why the "Big 4 Audit Firms" are "Too Big to Fail."33:16 What's really going on with the Big 4  audit firms? Audit services vs consulting services. "When there is tension between professionalism and commercialism, [the latter] will always win out." "You cannot restrain the heartless except via enforcement."37:50 On lessons for directors in frauds of private companies. "I use Theranos as a warning case for students in accounting: it's the canary in the coalmine in case the audit profession doesn't evolve." There were three audit firms involved in the Theranos case: EY at the beginning but then walked away, then KPMG until they had a dispute about stock option valuations (staying only to do consulting), and PwC did forensic work winding down the company. None of them audited the firm, they only provided services. "They [the audit firms] made more money, with less liability, by providing other services [actively choosing not to provide auditing services.]" "Private companies avoiding going public [the deeper scrutiny] is the shape of things to come." How the JOBS Act stripped away some of the scrutiny over emerging growth companies [EGCs]. Some, like SEC Commissioner Hester Peirce, are in favor of this lighter regulatory approach.47:22 On whether unicorns require a stricter regulatory framework. "We are seeing this [laissez-faire] attitude to the max in the crypto industry."50:00 On whether Sarbanes Oxley had a negative effect on the US IPO market. "We should not have marginal/shady companies in the public markets." On the negative effect of relaxing the rules in the JOBS Act. "We should be talking about the quality of companies, not the quantity of listings."55:26 On the difference between valuations (in private companies) and marketcap (in public companies). "I'm a big believer in the power of short sellers and activist investors to highlight [price inefficiencies and fraud] because they put their money where their mouth is." "The SEC has been very disappointing in both Republican and Democratic administrations in terms of actually calling accounting fraud by its name." On the role of whistleblowers.01:04:02 On the rise (and increasing political polarization) of ESG. "I'm cynical towards it, firms are looking to get a piece of clients' wallets." "The trend first emerged in Europe with firms providing side audits like carbon emissions." "My head is tainted with the idea that it's all a big marketing ploy." The audit mandate in the proposed SEC's climate change disclosure rules. On the proxy proposals (like Exxon's) and greenwashing.01:10:28 - Three books that have greatly influenced her life: Siddartha, by Hermann Hesse (1922)The Road Less Traveled, by M. Scott Peck (1978)The Origins of Totalitarianism, by Hannah Arendt (1951)01:13:18 - Who were your mentors, and what did you learn from them? From her time at Continental Illinois:Peggy Jackson TurnerJudy Port01:15:03 - Are there any quotes you think of often or live your life by? "Der Mensch Tracht, un Gott Lacht (Man Plans, and God Laughs)" (Yiddish)"Morallity cannot be legislated, but behavior can be regulated. Judicial decrees may not change the heart, but they can restrain the heartless." Martin Luther King Jr.01:16:12 -  An unusual habit or an absurd thing that he loves: collecting metal objects.01:17:47 -  The living person she most admires: Judge Jed S. Rakoff, Jordan Peele.Francine McKenna is a full-time Lecturer at University of Pennsylvania Wharton Business School. She teaches ACCT 611 and 613, Introduction to Financial Accounting for MBAs.

A president, a prime minister and a top soccer player: the selfie of President Xi Jinping, then-British prime minister David Cameron and Manchester City striker Sergio Aguero became an instant internet hit in 2015, when Xi ended a state visit to the United Kingdom in Manchester."That was really an iconic photo from the visit, which really showed the human and personal side of President Xi Jinping as well as being a strong global leader, also him as a human being enjoying a visit and meeting a footballer," said David Houliston, policy head of the Manchester City Council, who was involved in Xi's visit to Manchester as policy and partnership manager for the city.Although Xi is known for his keen interest in soccer, that visit to Manchester far transcended the game.In Manchester, bees, a city emblem, are everywhere to be seen. The hardworking insect evokes the city's history as the cradle of the Industrial Revolution, when it was chimneys, smoke and crowds of workers that were everywhere to be seen.In recent decades the city became home to the world's first modern computer, and then graphene, hailed as a wonder material, appeared and Manchester became a center of the Cameron government's "Northern Powerhouse" initiative and of the current government's "Levelling Up" initiatives.Xi's first stop was the National Graphene Institute at Manchester University, the brain of the city's modern scientific and technological revolution.The institute researches graphene, the world's thinnest material. It is used mainly in the fields of energy and electronics and is now the focus of research looking for ways to reduce carbon emissions.There, President Xi and his wife, Peng Liyuan, were given a tour around the laboratories led by Professor Konstantin Novoselov, one of two scientists who won the Nobel Prize in physics in 2010 for their work on graphene at the University of Manchester. Novoselov was also trained in Chinese traditional painting."Everyone was trying to ask and answer questions, making jokes, and the students were involved," Novoselov said."It was quite a dynamic atmosphere, I would say. I gave President Xi one of my paintings. He was very surprised and gave me a set of marvelous paint brushes back as a present."He recalled the special gift he prepared for Xi, a traditional Chinese ink painting of a lotus pond. In fact, graphene ink was used in that painting.Nowadays, university staff members refer to the passage that Xi walked through to see the signature cleanroom laboratory as the "famous corridor" because it later attracted the personnel of so many Chinese scientific institutes. A photo of Xi at the institute hangs on the wall of the corridor."Xi Jinping's visit to the National Graphene Institute really created another wave of enthusiasm and interest in 2D materials in China," Novoselov said. "More researchers started to work on it, and more interesting work started to appear. And China today is very strong in this area."Professor Luke Georghiou, deputy president and vice-chancellor of the university, also vividly recalled Xi's visit."He was knowledgeable. He was interested in what we were doing. I think he has a background himself in technology. So he understood very well what he was seeing."Following the visit, the university's collaboration with Chinese institutes increased. Research activities with investment of about 50 million pounds ($60.1 million) have been conducted since then, Georghiou said, and global issues such as environmental protection and sustainability have become a new focus of collaboration."It's important that the world leaders don't think the UK is only about London," he said. "So it was important for us."On Xi's visit to the UK, Manchester was the only city apart from London that he went to, one reason being the city's post-industrial history, Georghiou said."We have managed to grow from older declining industries and found a new economic basis for the way we work with a very dynamic and regional approach. I believe there is some interest in China because you also have many industrial cities."One example is Manchester's sister city relationship since 1986 with Wuhan, the capital of Hubei province. That city similarly transformed itself from an industrial powerhouse into a modern scientific and technological innovation center.The two cities, having worked on trade, investment and education for decades, have found new common ground: hydrogen and sponge cities."We've learned from the Wuhan sponge cities program about how to use nature-based solutions to hold back floodwater," said Houliston, who has led Manchester's partnership with Wuhan for about seven years. "In Wuhan, that's about stopping flooding on the Yangtze River. In Manchester, we've done demonstrations learning from China's technology and investment."In late April, the two cities signed a memorandum of understanding on hydrogen energy industry exchanges and collaboration, through which they will work together on the clean energy, with water as the only byproduct, for their net-zero targets.Xi's visit triggered city partnerships between the two countries, Houliston said."We saw a real succession of visits from governors and vice-governors of different regions of China coming to visit Manchester to see what the president had seen himself."In Manchester, many people on the city council, in universities and at companies have business cards that are in English and Chinese. Simple etiquette is one rationale for this, he said, but it also demonstrates the city's ties with China."We do that for all senior level people in our council, the mayor and the representatives."At a welcoming banquet held by the municipal government of Manchester in 2015, Xi said he hoped Manchester would act as a pacesetter of China-UK relations, highlighting the city's links with China.Over the past seven years, China-UK relations have had ups and downs, but the relationship between Manchester and Wuhan seems to be undisturbed."We've seen historically that there can be challenges around some of the international relationships," Houliston said. "And we've always felt that city-to-city dialogues and people-to-people dialogues can kind of shelter from those things a little bit."Even in the most difficult diplomatic era between the UK and China, we continued our work with Wuhan, and we're very proud that the city relations continued."The Airport City Manchester project, the biggest project in the city involving China, was also on Xi's itinerary. It is an £800-million joint venture between the State-owned Beijing Construction Engineering Group and UK construction company Carillion at Manchester Airport.With the Airport City project as a starting point, BCEG has taken part in five major construction projects in the UK as a developer or contractor in Manchester and beyond, with a gross development value of about£3 billion. The latest completed phases of the Middlewood Locks project have provided about 6,000 jobs in the local community."Chinese companies have been very popular with our partners in Manchester since Xi's visit," said Yu Dongwen, director of BCEG International. "It really brings confidence to Chinese companies with ambition on their global reach."Charlie Cornish, chief executive officer of Manchester Airport, said its relationship with the Chinese company is "very positive"."You're always concerned about the commitment of the other party or parties, the openness of the other party or parties. But we've found them to be open, transparent, (and) friendly. If they said they would deliver a project for a particular time, they did it."Since Xi's visit, Manchester has had projects involving China worth about £6 billion, and every year more than 9,000 Chinese students in Manchester have contributed more than 1 billion pounds to the region's economy, Houliston said.Rhys Whalley, executive director of the Manchester-China Forum, who calls himself an eternal optimist in terms of Manchester's relationship with China, said he believes in a promising future for bilateral ties. "One has to be," he said."I'm a proponent of the role the city and regions have to play in driving forward engagement. For too long that had been overlooked, particularly by national and multinational organizations. Cities and regions have a really important role to play, because ultimately that's where people come together."记者：李雪晴transcend英[trænˈsend]；美[trænˈsend]vt. 超越，超出…的限度;优于或胜过…;高于或独立于（宇宙）而生存emblem英[ˈembləm]；美[ˈɛmbləm]n. 象征，标记;纹章，徽章;标记，典型;〈古〉寓意画graphene英['græfɪnɪ]；美['græfɪnɪ]n.石墨烯（由碳原子构成的单层片状结构的纳米材料）powerhouse英[ˈpaʊəhaʊs]；美[ˈpaʊərhaʊs]n. 精力充沛的人；强大的集团（或组织）；强国；权威人士；动力源sponge英[spʌndʒ]；美[spʌndʒ]n. 海绵;海绵动物;海绵蛋糕v. （用海绵）擦拭

Rail Accident Investigation Branch (RAIB) chief inspector Simon French joins NCE senior reporter Catherine Kennedy to discuss the final report into the fatal Carmont derailment in August 2020.   The accident occurred after a passenger train collided with debris washed from a drain onto the track following very heavy rainfall. Tragically three people died and the remaining six people on the train were injured.   French reflects on the key learnings from the report, which found that a drainage system and associated earthworks constructed by Carillion had not been built in accordance with the original design and so were not able to safely accommodate the water flows on the morning of the derailment.   He considers the importance of change management and the challenges posed by extreme weather, before reflecting back on how the rail industry has changed and improved since the RAIB was first set up.   He also reflects on what the industry still needs to address in terms of improving safety and fully embracing a safety culture going forward.   The Engineers Collective is powered by Bentley Systems. Around the world, engineers and architects, constructors and owner-operators are using Bentley's software solutions to accelerate project delivery and improve asset performance for transportation infrastructure that sustains our economy and our environment. Together, we are advancing infrastructure.

In this podcast, I consider the proposition that the UK economy conforms to Mussolini's characterisation of fascism as the complete entanglement of corporate and state power. I do this through a close comparison of the corporate document produced by the Serco Institute, Lessons learned from the collapse of Carillion (2018) and the UK Government document The Outsourcing Playbook (2020). The resonance between the two documents is sufficient to intensify the suspicion that corporations and government are bed-fellows and dangerously so. A side-effect of this investigation is to reveal the purely ideological character of the Tory government's espousal of neoliberalism. [Free. 57 minutes.]

Lisa Leighton is joint Managing Partner of BHP Accountants, who have 350 staff in five offices across Yorkshire. They are the only Sheffield business named in The Sunday Times Best 100 Middle-Sized Companies to Work For. They have tripled in size in the last ten years. They act primarily for SMEs, but also in the healthcare sector, and for charities and not-for-profit organisations. Their strap line is “Reassuringly Straight Laced”, a phrase that reflects the personality of a business which has a family culture and doesn't take itself too seriously. Initially a shy only child, Lisa had to dig deep when her dad died while she was in her second year at university. His heart attack at 46 has shaped Lisa's life ever since. “I was almost searching for a new family” and she made BHP that family. “Everyone looks out for each other” she says. It also awakened her to the fact that we have one life and “you need to live it. There is no point in not doing things on account of nerves or thinking that you can't. Just try.” She feels that Sheffield has given her “so much” and so she is committed to returning some of that: she is Executive in Residence at Sheffield Hallam University and was treasurer at Cavendish Cancer Care for a five year period. Lisa doesn't understand why people would say accounting is boring. It gives Lisa the privilege of “being nosey” and asking questions in a huge range of businesses, without being asked why! She loves the human contact and arriving at solutions in partnership with her clients. What is it that makes BHP a great place to work? Becoming one of the Sunday Times Top 100 Employers became a formal part of BHP's strategy in 2010. Some of the changes they have made are simple and straightforward but mean a lot to their staff. They have introduced an email curfew between 7pm and 7am (anyone who works in professional services will understand how radical that actually is), they have introduced a volunteering day, free fruit, and a wellbeing week with Katie Bell Physiotherapy. The ‘Why' of BHP, the outcome of an exercise prompted by Simon Sinek, is “to support, develop and inspire our people and our clients so that they are able to realise their true potential.” The firm is investing heavily in technology, as Lisa believes a lot of the services that BHP provides will disappear in the next five years and that technology skills, for example data analytics, will be essential to the employability of the next generation of accountants.   Technology and people skills in fact are the top priorities of the business, which recently won Audit Team of the Year. The organisation is on a journey from audit to advisory. Transforming young people into rounded advisors is challenging because some of the grass roots experience that was the foundation of Lisa's training is no longer available to the profession. In lieu of that, partners take younger staff to meetings in order for them to listen to what is going on. I asked Lisa if the auditors of Thomas Cook and Carillion had been doing their job. Lisa acknowledged that the profession had been coming under pressure in relation to audit quality. Her view is that training is key. But data analytics also helps. Lisa is Joint Managing Partner (with Hamish Morrison). It is working well. She personally had not appreciated how lonely it is at the top and being able to share on a daily basis with Hamish has helped a lot. They have complementary skill sets and work in complementary geographies. However, they work hard to ensure that they manage BHP as a single unified practice. Lisa has moved around in the business, at her own volition, from audit to small scale advisory to corporate finance. In between she has had two children. She picked up the role of staff partner on returning from maternity leave, assuming responsibility for the HR function and this proved significant for her development. In particular it enabled her to hone her coaching and mentoring...

Vonskuveður er búið að vera víða um land í dag, mikill snjór og vegir lokaðir. Fjöldi fólks bíður eftir að komast leiðar sinnar á Austur- og Norðurlandi og Vegagerðin hefur þurft að fylgja bílum á Seyðisfjörð til að komast í Norrænu. Larry Nassar, fyrrverandi læknir bandaríska landsliðsins í fimleikum var í dag dæmdur í allt að 175 ára fangelsi fyrir að hafa beitt yfir hundrað fimleikastúlkur kynferðislegu ofbeldi árum saman Hæstaréttarlögmönnum ber ekki saman um hvort Sigríður Á Andersen dómsmálaráðherra hafi brotið lög við skipan dómara í Landsrétt. Vald dómsmálaráðherra til að skipa dómara á fyrst og fremst að vera formlegt. Þetta segir Jakob R. Möller hæstaréttarlögmaður. Ráðherrar hafi ítrekað orðið uppvísir að því að misbeita valdi sínu. Haukur Örn Birgisson, kollegi hans, telur að ráðherra eigi ekki að vera bundinn af andlitslausum nefndum sem í sitji hagsmunaaðilar. Ráðherra beri ábyrgð á skipuninni og þurfi að geta haft áhrif á hana. Skipan dómara var rædd á málþingi í Háskólanum í Reykjavík í dag. Arnhildur Hálfdánardóttir ræddi við lögmennina. Ríflega tuttugu þúsund störf og mörg hundruð verktakasamninga við breska ríkið, jafnt um þrif í skólum sem lagningu hraðbrautar þvert í gegnum Bretland svífa nú í lausu lofti. Verktakafyrirtækið Carillion var einn burðarásinn í útvistun breska ríkisins. Gjaldþrot fyrirtækisins hefur hleypt fjöri í umræðuna um einkavæðingu því það er mun lengra á milli stóru flokkanna tveggja í þessum efnum en áður var. Sigrún Davíðsdóttir. Frakkar og Þjóðverjar stefna að endurskoðun og endurnýjun Elyseé sáttmálans, en í þessari viku eru 55 ár frá því hann var undirritaður. Sáttmálinn kveður á um náið samstarf þjóðanna. Bogi Ágústsson.

Morgunvaktin mánudaginn 22. janúar 2018 Umsjón: Björn Þór Sigbjörnsson Þátturinn hófst á Lundúnarspjalli Sigrúnar Davíðsdóttur. Hún sagði fyrst frá gjaldþrota risaverktakafyrirtæksins Carillion sem annast hefur verklegar framkvæmdir en einnig margvíslega þjónustu í umboði hins opinbera. Þrotið vekur upp umræður um slíkt fyrirkomulag og hvort rétt sé að ríkið veiti þjónustuna sjálft í stað þess að útvista henni til einkafyrirtækja. Hún sagði einni frá heimsókn Macrons Frakklandsforseta til May forsætisráðherra Bretlands og óróleika innan forystu Ukip-flokksins. Óli Björn Kárason, þingmaður Sjálfstæðisflokksins, spjallaði um pólitíkina í tilefni þess að þing kemur saman í dag eftir jólaleyfi. Einkum var rætt um efnahagsmál og skatta. Efnahagsástandið er gott en Óli Björn sagði tiltekin merki á lofti um að útflutningsgreinarnar hefðu ekki staðið undir hagvextinum á þriðja ársfjórðungi síðasta árs, sem væri áhyggjuefni. Hann sagði tímabært að endurskoða skattkerfið; koma á einu skattþrepi en stilla það af með stiglækkandi persónuafslætti. Vera Illugadóttir sagði frá stjórnmálunum í indverska fylkinu Tamíl Nadú. Þar búa yfir 70 milljónir manna og dýrkun á kvikmyndastjörnum er útbreidd. Leikarar hafa einmitt látið að sér kveða í pólitíkinni síðustu áratugi og ein skærasta stjarnan á því sviðið sækist einmitt eftir að verða næsti fylkisstjóri. Inga Hlín Pálsdóttir, forstöðumaður hjá Íslandsstofu, sagði frá fyrirhuguðu markaðsátaki í tengslum við þátttöku Íslands á HM í fótbolta í Rússlandi. Stjórnvöld eru reiðubúin að leggja fram 200 milljónir króna gegn því að einkaaðilar leggji fram sömu fjárhæð. Umfjöllunin erlendra fjölmiðla um Ísland í kringum þátttökuna á EM í Frakklandi 2016 var metin á 20 milljarða króna. Tónlist: Vagg og velta - Erla Þorsteins. Hland fyrir hjartað - Jóel Pálsson.

The collapse of Carillion is down to poor management but, as Phil Dobbie discusses with Prof Steve Keen, it's also down to a company that took risks because it was raking in so much money from the public sector. In this discussion they look at where you draw the line between government insourcing and outsourcing. The problem is, says Steve, governments have lost the expertise to know what to outsource and when. It's the blind buying from the greedy. Our GDPR privacy policy was updated on August 8, 2022.
