Co-op headlines highlight need for accountant Manchester investors face

Published on August 29, 2013 by Crawfords Accounting

The recent news headlines surrounding the Co-operative Bank demonstrate the essential need for a reliable accountant Manchester investors face in the current economic climate.

With a motto of “good with money” and a long-held commitment to ethical and sustainable investment, the Co-operative Bank has earned the trust of its investors.

But its buyout of bad debts from Britannia have left it with a £559 million hole in its finances, and investors seem likely to end up paying the price.

For some, that could reportedly see up to half of the value of their investment wiped, while concerns have also been raised about the potential for job losses at the organisation.

In contrast, some people are calling for investors to keep their faith in the banking group – perhaps to help reduce the risk of a run on the bank by savings accountholders, or a fire sale by stockholders.

Whatever ends up happening, with the right accountant Manchester stockholders in this company – which is an iconic brand for the city and the north-west as a whole – can ensure the impact on their finances is taken into account in the proper way, and may be able to gain a tax benefit on any losses that arise as a result.
