The executive counsel filed the complaint which alleges ICAEW member Hunt's conduct breached the fundamental principles of integrity and professional competence.
An investigation was launched in October 2008. Hunt was FD of Worthington Nicholls from 10 January 2007 to 19 September 2007.
The AADB lists breaches occurred in: his preparation of an interim financial statement; his conduct at an extraordinary general meeting, as well as a board meeting; a letter to shareholders; and a news announcement.
An independent disciplinary tribunal will be appointed to hear the formal complaint and an investigation into auditor Haines Watts' conduct is currently still on-going.
