"Ronnie Patton, Northern Ireland spokesman for the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA), insists a proposed new piece of legislation on corporate manslaughter is illogical. The Corporate Man- slaughter and Corporate Homicide Bill was published last month and will be debated in Parliament when MPs return from their summer breaks. But will this new legislation, if it is passed, make any difference to the safety and security of employees or third parties?"
