More corporate cut & paste

Just a bit of fun, try Googling ""it should not be forgotten that the general standard of corporate reporting in the UK".

It should bring up two hits - a response by the GC100 (yep, them again) to the 2011 BIS consultation on narrative reporting, and a 2012 response from Barclays to the FRC consultation on audit committee guidance.

The first says:

Finally, it should not be forgotten that the general standard of corporate reporting in the UK is amongst the best. In its recent annual report, the Financial Reporting Review Panel found that the general quality of corporate reporting to be good, especially by the larger UK listed issuers.

The second says:

It should not be forgotten that the general standard of corporate reportlng in the UK is amongst the best. In its 2011 annual report, the Financial Reporting Review Panel found that the general quality of corporate reporting to be good, especially by the larger UK listed issuers.

Note both versions even include the same grammatical mistake - the second sentence doesn't need a 'that' in it.
