I think John Carroll should come clean about other parts of his accounting whilst he is at it. A few years ago Paul Svendsen from the Donkey Sanctuary approached the national Spanish SEPE charity for the protection of equines for their help, as the DS had a field officer working in Spain paying no tax or social security and as they had no charity licence to operate legally within Spain at the time. (Their accounts should show this!) SEPE were asked if they would be prepared to legalise his situation by putting him through their books if they were paid a small commission to cover their costs. So his wages, cars, hotels, flights, office costs, expenses, and many other things partly to get the DS own Donkey Sanctuary operation going in Spain.  Some of this money was put directly through SEPE’s accounts but to SEPE’s surprise when they were shown some of the DS yearly accounts that their was no explanation within their accounts what the money was for, just showing it was all paid as a grant, (wonderfully generous ha!!!) but to SEPE’s thinking this was completely falsifying their accounts to their supporters by not disclosing what the money was actually for i.e. their own field officer and setting up their own sanctuary!.
