“I was introduced to your organisation through a friend of my fathers who, like him, had come up against the corruption that only a lack of accountability makes possible. Unfortunately, this extends both to Governmental institutions and is also particularly prevalent in the Legal system, including lawyers and Judiciary, the Police, Banking and Financial Services etc.. Indeed, anywhere that power resides and is exercised without meaningful constraint or truly independent scrutiny. In fact, many of these consortiums do have bodies that are supposedly there for this function but, in many cases, they interpret their brief as protectors of their membership rather than upholding their assigned role of policing it. Some enforcers are even funded by the very firms they are expected to regulate.
One of the back doors used by perpetrators of misfeasance’s is via such otherwise respectable societies as Masonic lodges etc., and it perhaps speaks volumes why their membership seems to attract a disproportionate number from those professions.
Given the above, it is like a breath of fresh air that The Transparency Task Force has been set up and comprises of cross-party MP’s and commissioners who have observed what occurs, whistle blowers and various victims who are normally blamed by the system for the consequences of their own circumstances while the perpetrators of the fraud escape without blame and are even underwritten by the legal procedure itself.”
