Branches not filing their accounts on time has no impact on Head Office accounts. As I have previously said, this is an entirely bogus excuse for non-compliance with statutory requirements.
If it turns out that there is a more serious problem than simple lateness with the accounts, if it can be established that the NEC were lied to about the accounts, then this will be very important in establishing legal liability. Given that there are apparently no minutes kept of NEC meetings, it would probably be worth getting affidavits from NEC members present at that meeting who can confirm what was said and by whom.
