Receivers are keen to trace Stanford's auditor

Abstract

Vantis receivers are looking to grill CAS Hewlett, the auditor caught up in the L5 million Stanford fraud scandal which has rocked the worlds of sport and finance. Talks with the firm will anchor Nigel Hamilton-Smith and Peter Wastell's efforts to locate and ring-fence the assets of Stanford International Bank Limited and Stanford Trust Company, the companies which handled the investments of 28,000 clients. Hamilton-Smith, partner at Vantis and joint receiver, said: 'We are seeking to meet with the auditors for Stanford International Bank in due course.'
