has written to the Insolvency Service and the Official Receiver to ask it to fast
track its investigation into Carillion’s directors, and to broaden the scope of this
to include former directors, to determine whether their actions caused detriment to
creditors, employees and the pension schemes. He has also written to the chairman
of the Financial Reporting Council and asked it to conduct an investigation into the
preparation of Carillion’s accounts past and present, as well as the conduct of the
company’s auditors.</p><p> </p><p>If in the course of the Official Receiver’s investigation
he discovers any indication of criminal offences having been committed, he can refer
them to a prosecuting authority including the Serious Fraud Office.</p>
