    Company funds lost due to fraud a deductible expense?

    Curious, are company funds "lost" due to fraud (from accountant not company) deductible in any way? Fraud from the company itself is something entirely different and NOT what I'm asking about here.

      Not applicable in this case as it was an (intended) HMRC payment but there is proof of payment, yes.

          It would not be a good idea to answer that question here. If its the one I think it is a quick search on this site will give you a good idea.

              No problems, I was just wondering if it was the same as the accountant I used to be with up until they were arrested for doing this very thing a few weeks ago....

              There was a thread on here about them at the time, but it got locked down and last time I linked to it the link was removed and I was asked not to do it again, however if you search for it there is a phone number for West Yorkshire police in the thread who will be able to help you if it is the same accountant....

                  I've already made a formal witness statement to the Police hence why I cannot discuss other details. I'm just trying to crunch some numbers for further discussion with HMRC hence the question.
