The old “oversight” defence, works everytime !!
(1) sorry we did not reveal the two bank accounts, it was an oversight, we have put in place procedures that will prevent this from happening in the future.

(2) sorry we did not pay tax on assets acumilated, it was an oversight, we have put in place procedures that will prevent this from happening in the future.
Thats alright then, don’t do it again.

Thats alright then, don’t do it again.
The old “Oversight” defence, works everytime !!
