The Tesco Clusterfuck

On Tuesday I asked:
"Given that the auditors warned about this in May, does this mean that the previous year's profits were overstated?"
It seems that I am not the only one who thinks this. The Telegraph reports that the Financial Reporting Council is “monitoring the situation” and could force Tesco to restate past accounts.

To rub salt into the wounds, it seems that Tesco have been "winging it" without a Finance Director since April; as its outgoing finance director Laurie McIlwee had “has not been involved or had any input to any financial matters” since he resigned on April 4.

This appears to be but the tip of a very large iceberg.
