Hoi,
I had a read and I would like to know how much time and effort is involved
in the reporting requirement. I honestly believe that the point of
reporting can be many things. There has to be a balance though between what
you ask for and what it costs to produce this information.
Has this question ever been addressed. Also with penalties riding on the
reporting, what is the benefit of this and what is the cost of people not
attending because of this insistence on compliance or else ?
Thanks,
GerardM
