Got a contract five weeks ago (myself and a colleague) for a large banking group from 'down under' but based in the UK.
They told us that they were introducing a new 'probity system' for contractors coming on site and as this was the first time they'd ever used it it might take a bit longer.
Anyhooos, after all the ususal Scottish Disclosure and credit checks etc, they came back to both of us and told us that their checks had thrown up that we held directorships of limited companys and we would have to 'resign' these before we were allowed on site
Been on the phone for most of today trying to explain 'how it works' to them, but it's proving to be hard going
So, a major bank has a new compliance system for contractors which automatically bars most contractors from working for them
Very clever !!
