Report aims to clear adoption group of impropriety
Helping Hands commissioned accountancy firm Grant Thornton to conduct a review of its accounts for 2007 and 2008 after the agency was specifically singled out for criticism in Unicef’s International Social Services report (ISS) last year.
The Adoption Board, which accredits adoption agencies here, also appointed a leading Dublin-based forensic accountant to investigate the agency’s accounts on foot of the concerns raised in the ISS report.
