Whilst accountancy rules may allow for the legitimate recognition of the Brennan sale (or at least part of it) in the previous year’s accounts, we don’t know whether that argument even is, or will be, part of our defence.
Additionally, as others have said, speculation about any penalties is pointless as there are two major aspects we don’t yet know-
1. what the accounting issues are that have caused us to go over the threshold (bonuses, Brennan or other); and
2. by how much we have actually exceeded the threshold.
Without this it’s impossible to make any meaningful guesstimates.
