The CEO states that these are accurate figures. It is an assessment, an estimate. It cannot be said it is accurate because it is self-assessment. What controls are in place? What follow-up inspections take place to ensure the figures are accurate? We were never given any information to reassure us that is the case. I do not accept that these are accurate figures. While it is great that 94% of the companies complete the forms, on what basis do they fill in the forms? It is self-assessment. What is the follow up? How does IDA Ireland confirm the figures it got are accurate?
