External consultants involved in Richmond's footy dept. review: Ch 7

Perhaps not it total but the most important to date...we hope.

True or False ?

Richmond Club director Rod Dalton, is a senior partner at Ernst & Young.

True.  But Dalton is one of a number of Board members.  PricewaterhouseCoopers are the club's auditors so its not unusual for consulting work to be awarded to one of the other large professional services firms.  I looked earlier, this job is only one of two that EY has done for RFC since 2014.  Not that significant.

Can you really see EY saying "hey Rob you and your board buddies completely stuffed up".  Claytons review from which Rob will get his commission.

It's an all male review

And at the very least, it's a shady, unprofessional look, one that the club doesn't need right now...oh...wait.

You do understand how big EY is? And that it is broken up in the many different business units? And that although he is a Partner his area of discipline isn't the area that would be doing the consulting / review?

For that reason alone, they should be professional enough to see the conflict of interest and step aside.
Says more about them than the drivel you posted about their credentials

Last time I checked EY dont have a football business unit.  As I said a Claytons review.

As I mentioned in my last post, EY has an engagement with RFC but, based on what I can see in the system, it does not appear to be football related. 

Also, as WP mentioned, the partner running the active engagement is not Dalton.  In fact, the service line doing the work is not even Dalton's service line.  EY Partners are remunerated on a service line (not geographical) basis so Dalton has nothing to gain personally from EY doing this work (whatever it might relate to).

[Yeahright]

We actually were into Young from Port last year.....no joke....

Yep and I wanted him. Now he's having a good year. Will probably go back to being a dud though

The superficial connection between EY and a board member is what most of us would see. If it needs to be explained, it's not acceptable.
Board members should get that.

The Tigers’ decision to engage consultancy firm Ernst & Young to conduct a review of the football department also prompted the group to rally.

Questions are being asked about the firm's suitability to contribute to a football department review when the club's 2016 finances and off-field position are in good order.

Yeah that's what I thought....won't fix our football problems....

But by reviewing business operations they assess the processes in place for things like internal reviews and how the club goes about them....

So it could have benefits

Maybe they can review how the hell our CEO also got a seat on the board......

That was and remains a disgrace.

It's a source of laughter nearly as rich as Dimmer's dissections.
