There was a very telling comment from the Transparency Taskforce’s leader Andy Agethangelou last week.

“Of the financial people who were at the heart of this organisation, none are still working for us”

I had been thinking this and worrying that I had not played my part in recent years. I am not quite sure why, but I find that I am inextricably drawn into working with financial organisations that do not demonstrate the highest standards of transparency and that some must be considered involved in investment fraud. I am sure that their names will come up on Monday in an event I have been invited to and will go to

The financial services industry looks very under represented in this line-up and I need to single out Margaret Snowdon for speaking for my peers.

I will go with my head held low as I could have done more and find myself compromised in many ways. I hope that after some time with people from a wide variety of occupations and with a wide variety of experience of malpractice, I can return to the City of London, chastened.

Thanks to those who have arranged for me to attend and many congratulations to Andy Agethangelou and Sue Flood who I know to have been instrumental in taking this forward.

Lest we forget
