Corporate Services Group

== Corporate Services Group ==
In 2003 Roger Eden and Geoffrey Brailey - former directors of Corporate Services Group Plc - were found guilty of charges relating to accounting irregularities aimed to overstate profits. The circumstances (which predate the management of the company under its present board) revolve around the company's financial statements for the years ending 31 December 1997 and 31 December 1998. 
:"The defendants conspired with others to defraud existing and potential investors in the company. The defendants dishonestly caused and permitted the company's financial statements for 1997 to be prepared in such a way as to overstate the true extent of its profitability and that they sought to do so in 1998. In 1997, the overstatement amounted to just over £3 million. In 1998, the accounting irregularities came to light before the statements could be published. The potential overstatement of profit for 1998 is estimated to exceed at least £25 million."Serious Fraud Office Company directors conspired to falsify profits Press Releases 17 September 2003
Charles Earl in the Libertarian Alliance stated:
:"CSG was involved in contracting labour and in training people in the computer field. The company had received grants from the government for each person it trained and who qualified, and this had led to widespread fraud at a lower level. This is well-documented, indeed a while back there had been a national scandal when it was revealed that the Individual Learning Accounts (ILAs) the government had set up to widen computer literacy amongst the workforce and general population had been milked by sundry training organisations."
CSG (owner of the Blue Arrow employment agency) was once the subject of a takeover attempt by former Conservative party treasurer Lord Ashcroft.Jill Treanor Former chiefs found guilty of fraud The Guardian, Thursday September 18 2003 
The Evening Standard reported:
:After the concerns surfaced, Ashcroft, then Conservative Party treasurer, launched a last-ditch attempt via his Carlisle Group which offered to buy Corporate Services for £286m. Other investors rejected the offer and instead brought in new chairman Michael Davies and chief executive Peter Owen to rescue the company.Former bosses on fraud charges By Brett Arends This is london, Last updated at 00:00am on 24.04.02
CSG's auditor at the time was Arthur Andersen, which changed its name in the wake of the Enron scandal. The three directors left the group early in 1999, along with then chairman Jeffrey Fowler who was not charged.

Cosworth

Cosworth is a supplier of Formula 1 engines and electronics.
1n 2010 it was awarded two UK Ministry of Defence contracts 'to explore how technologies used to protect racing drivers can protect front line troops in the battlefield'.
According to the Army Technology website:
:The first contract is for a military vehicle accident data recorder and the second is for a blast event and vehicle integrity system. The military vehicle accident data recorder is intended to capture crucial information following an incident such as improvised explosive device (IED) blasts and displaying it in a simple format. The data recorder could help in the development of the equipment as well as the defence tactics, techniques and procedures used to counter IEDs. The blast event and vehicle integrity system allows for a quick assessment of a vehicle's condition and in decision-making process following a blast.
:The UK Parliamentary under Secretary of State for Defence Lord Astor of Hever said marrying motorsport technology and military need is an exciting and innovative way forward.
"In the Centre for Defence Enterprise the MOD has a very good mechanism for embracing cutting-edge research that could benefit our troops in the future," Hever said. Army Technology.com, UK Front Line Troops to Get Formula 1 Protection, July 2010

Cotecna

==Background==
Cotecna is a Swiss based Inspections company which was hired by the UN to verify goods coming into Iraq. Kojo Annan, son of the UN's Kofi Annan was a trainee with the firm from 1995 to 1998 and continued to be paid a salary until February 2004. In 2005 an investigation into potential conflict of interests was launched as Cotecna had been awarded a contract for the United Nations Oil-For-Food Programme in Iraq. 
Whilst no evidence was found in the inquiry that 'the selection of Cotecna in 1998 was subject to any affirmative or improper influence of the secretary general' The Independent Inquiry Committee (IIC) found that Kojo Annan had "intentionally deceived" his father about his "continuing financial relationship" with Cotecna and that "Significant questions remain about Kojo and his actions"BBC News (2005)Annan cleared over oil-for-food 29th March 2005. Accessed 7th May 2009. 
The investigation was also critical as the UN's procurement rules were not followed as no questionnaire and financial statements were supplied and no consideration had been given to a Swiss criminal investigation against the Cotecna's CEO, Robert Massey: This related to alleged payments on behalf of Cotecna for the benefit of the family of Benazir Bhutto to secure an inspection contract in Pakistan. According to the investigation, 'no satisfactory explanation of these omissions has been made' Independent Inquiry Committee (2005)Independent Inquiry Committee into the United Nations Oil-For-Food Programme 29th March 2005. Accessed 7th May 2009.

Council for Academic Freedom and Academic Standards

The Council for Academic Freedom and Academic Standards (originally known as the Council for Academic Freedom and Democracy), 
==History==
According to a summary on the website of the University of Hull:
:The CAFD was established by a small group of radically-minded academics in 1970. It is essentially a civil liberties organisation in the field of British higher education. It was initially led by Professor John Griffith, of the London School of Economics, and his colleague, Ralph Miliband. Professor John Saville, of the University of Hull, became its Chairman on Griffith's retirement in 1982. The CAFD has fought hundreds of cases on behalf of university and college staff in defence of their academic freedom and democratic rights.University of Hull Pressure Group Archives Subject Guide: Campaign for Academic Freedom and Democracy, accessed 4 August 2010 
According to Griffith, writing in 1998:
:The Council for Academic Freedom and Democracy gradually ceased to operate during the 1980s. Academics were unwilling to court disfavour when their employers were being required to draw up lists of those whose services might be dispensed with.John Griffith 'The need for an academic ombudsman' The Times Higher Education Supplement, 4 September 1998, accessed 7 August 2010
===Name change===
:The Council is still active and is now known as the Council for Academic Freedom and Academic Standards (CAFAS). As well as undertaking casework, it campaigns more widely against declining academic standards and abuses of power within higher and further education. Its patrons include Noam Chomsky.
