Europe's largest local authority remains unable to secure auditor approval for its financial books due to persistent historic data issues. Despite potential steps to move away from Oracle, the accounting complications from the previous system continue to linger.

- Auditor rejection signals severe data integrity issues, not just software licensing disputes.
- Migration from Oracle is incomplete or flawed, leaving critical financial data in limbo.
- Legacy database technical debt can persist long after the initial migration project ends.
- Financial reporting compliance is at risk when underlying data quality is unverified.
