However, last night, there was speculation that she had resigned ahead of fresh allegations about A4e’s general business practices likely to emerge over the weekend.

Is the end in sight... hope so. I worked for A4e for 5 long months before coming to the conclusion their moral compass was the polar opposite to mine, and the company put profit firmly before people.

Is their systemic fraud within A4e?
Additionally will their be investigations into the punitive punishment culture?
