Editor's Note
=============
By now you are probably aware of my views about government IT
projects. So this week I'm handing over the Editor's Note to
Susan Gompels, who, like many of us on AccountingWEB, is
desperate for e-systems that work.
Responding to our article about Lord Carter's review of HMRC
online systems, Susan wrote: "Too many reviews appear to have the
outcome pre-prepared and the 'consultation' then set up merely as
a cosmetic process to validate the agreed result. This one must
be different or HMRC systems will implode as more and more e-
services are added - and each fails to meet predictable demands."
Why not let Lord Carter know your thoughts and suggestions too:
