UK’s ninth biggest accountant has paid back funds claimed under the coronavirus job retention scheme
Mazars, a large UK accountancy firm, has repaid more than £1m in cash claimed from the government for furloughed workers, amid scrutiny of payments to accounting partners after firms received government coronavirus support.
The UK’s ninth-biggest accountant paid back £1.1m claimed under the coronavirus job retention scheme (CJRS), which supported 80% of the wages of furloughed employees up to a limit of £2,500 a month. Mazars made the repayment on Monday.
