It wasn't a good moment when auditors called, accountant tells Anglo trial

A senior accountant for Anglo Irish Bank has told the trial of four former senior bankers that it wasn't a good moment for him when the bank's auditors contacted him in 2009 about the accounting treatment of a billion-euro deal.

Four men are accused of conspiring to mislead investors by setting up a €7.2bn circular transaction scheme to bolster Anglo's 2008 balance sheet.
