Madam, – Isme’s painstaking research has revealed that 83 per cent of unauthorised work absences are based on employees’ fibs and the complicity of complaisant doctors (“GPs issuing certs to employees like ‘snuff at a wake’ ”, The Irish Times, January 30th).
For its next project, should Isme establish with similar exactitude the percentage of company balance sheets and tax returns that are based on directors’ fibs and the complicity of complaisant auditors? – Yours, etc,
