Barney Rubble Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 Just in from work and saw this on my club fan site. WTF has happened for that level of loss to come about without internal controls flagging an issue? Sincerely hope that it does not jeopardise the existence of the club.

Pool Q Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 I hope this isn't too damaging for Accies, that's a lot of money. Thankfully the sum involved at Hearts looks to be much less, possibly £85k. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grim Jim Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 Quote A statement from Tynecastle confirmed the Edinburgh club had also been hit. It said: "Heart of Midlothian can confirm it was the subject of an internet fraud earlier this year. "The matter is now part of an active police investigation and therefore no further comment will be made." How early? Why the apparent delay? Could other clubs like Accies not have been warned?

Squirrelhumper Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 Why on earth do Accies have £750k sitting in an account? And why hadn't they noticed it? I doubt any club other than Celtic have £750k kicking about! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No point spending it just for the sake of it, so they just saved it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely you'd put that in a higher interest account that was locked for a year or two and got a higher return. As I said, strange for a club to have that kind of money kicking about.

I don’t know, I’m just a Sparkie from Aberdeen with a bad credit rating, not an accountant from Hamilton in charge of a professional football club, you’d have to ask someone else that.
