Forensic Accounting
MCC delivered comprehensive and multidisciplinary approach to meet DfE’s requirements. Our contributions included:
- Multidisciplinary Review Team: Assembled and led a four-person team (two accountants and two engineers) on behalf of DfE to investigate BT’s broadband rollout.
- Contract & Reporting Inconsistencies: Identified problems in BT’s reported information, including material inconsistencies with its contract obligations under BDUK.
- Grant Monitoring Tools: Inspected and updated DfE’s Excel-based files used for grant monitoring and compliance tracking.
- Technical Site Inspections: Conducted site visits, gathered hardware specifications, and questioned openreach on technical issues.
- Infrastructure Verification: Engineers physically inspected installed infrastructure to assess quality and compliance.
- Service Delivery Assessment: Provided expert advice on whether the infrastructure would achieve super fast broadband speeds of at least 24 Mbps.
