Mazars and partner head for tribunal over pensions advice

The Financial Reporting Council's (FRC) executive counsel is to go to tribunal over a matter concerning the conduct of accounting mid-tier firm Mazars and the firm's London managing partner Richard Karmel, in a case relating to a trustee of the First Quench Pension Fund.

This follows an investigation, first announced by the FRC in 2009, and concerns a proposed replacement of First Quench Retailing Limited as the sponsoring employer of the First Quench Pension Fund, and the advice that Mazars and Karmel gave regarding the issue.
