#0112* - UKIP ACCOUNTS HONESTY & THE NEED FOR A REFERENDUM

Clean EUkip up NOW make UKIP electable!

The corruption of EUkip’s leadership, 

 their anti UKIP claque in POWER & the NEC 

is what gives the remaining 10% a bad name!

UKIP ACCOUNTS, HONESTY & THE NEED FOR 
A PETITION & REFERENDUM THAT CAN BE TRUSTED!

Hi,

This makes an interesting read - well for those who like to watch paint dry!!

It becomes more interesting when you note that Marta Andreasen is a qualified bean counter who makes much of the obscurity of The EU accounts and failed to do her job as an EU accountant where she was charged with identifying fraud possibilities in one small area - that of a single Commissioner's brief and producing a report on the subject with recommendations as to systems that could be introduced to tighten up the system

Marta Andreasen failed to produce the report by the due date and was given two further dates on which she failed to deliver. I gather she was then moved to another job having been incompetent to the job she had used a false CV to obtain.

Marta Andreasen lost her case for wrongfull dismissal and has now lost her appeal also or so it seems from the transcript and press article.

In the meantime she dishonestly and corruptly gained a position as an MEP representing the South East of England which she has never lived in and rarely visits and hardly knows.

She has also taken on the job of UKIP Treasurer until it has gained her election and then dumped the job which it was clear she had not acquitted during this time she has written a novel about the EU.

Here is what SHE considers to be an adequate accounting of her financial activities on the public purse to date (I checked TODAY).

Transparency

Marta Andreasen MEP     South East
July to December 2009

1.  Parliamentary Assistance Allowance

This allowance is for payment to Employees, Self Employed Service Providers and Accredited Assistants who support the work of the MEP. Any part of this allowance not used remains in the EU budget.   Contracts for all are lodged for approval with the Parliament and held by them. The Parliament makes the payment for employees to the Paying Agent, who deduct income tax and national insurance before making the net payment to the employee.  Self employed service providers have to provide invoices for approval firstly by the Paying Agent and then the Parliament, who makes the payment directly to them. Any staff based in Brussels are known as accredited assistants and are paid direct by the Parliament.  At no time in any of these cases does any money go into the MEPs bank account.

Position…………………………MEP’S Accredited Assistant
Full or Part time…………..Full Time
Where based…………………Brussels
Family Members paid…..None
Name of Paying Agent….Not Applicable

2. General Expenditure Allowance

This allowance covers the cost of carrying out the duties of an MEP not covered by other allowances, including running an office and associated expenditure.  All costs incurred meet the published Parliamentary rules.

Office management and running costs…………………………£5.550
Office equipment……………………………………………………………….£960
Communication costs……………………………………………………….£525
Stationery, periodicals, subscriptions………………………….£380
Travel and related costs………………………………………………….£0
Representation, meetings and briefings………………………£250
TOTAL…………………………………………………………………………………..£7665

3. Travel to and from Parliament  (Brussels and Strasbourg)

Number of return journeys….18

4. Daily Subsistence Allowance

A fixed allowance is paid for days attended at the parliament to cover the cost of hotels, meals and any other incidental costs.

Interesting when someone who is a law maker in our Government and CLAIMS to be an accountant - indeed has tried to pass herself off as The EU Chief Accountant when she was only a bean counter in a very small department!

Yet this is considered acceptable for one year - well 15 months. I wonder how HMCR would feel if YOU put this in as your accounts!
