Critical issue
we have had 2 sides of the coin, but if BASDA is unhappy then there must be serious cause for concern.
the hubris of government thinking is apparent from Pauls comments, we have talked to this government agency and that government agency, that is precisely the problem
nemesis will no doubt follow.
AND ANOTHER POINT
why does it take a week for the documenst to be examined, if our software can use the public record checker why cant CH use it without being totally silly about some entries; that way we could get a response in 2 days max and not the week approx it takes at present.
doubtless with acs CH will have to reexamine their whole document examination strategy, that should be fun!
Another Government IT Fiasco
Yet another example of the Government's idea of 'consultation' with the software industry - tell us that they are going to talk to us and then tell us that they have talked to us - this is what we decided.
Unfortunately, we have no opportunity to decide anything as we have had no contact with Companies House since last November when we told them that mapping XBRL to their taxonomy was not feasible in its present form. At the time, we offered to work with them to create a practical working system which would be simple to operate and encourage take-up by businesses.
You will note that they have now announced that when they, who know nothing about developing software, have finished their draft a taxonomy, they plan to 'inform accounts production software developers and provide them with a set of data validators to test their systems.' I think this is called mushroom management.
As usual, they have not listened and they are setting up yet another eGovernment initiative to fail.
