Farming accounts

Nameloc

I need to gain hold of previous accounts of a local farmer for legal verification purposes. I think he has made fraudulent claims about employing someone - so just asking him is a no-go.

With normal businesses, you can request financials online but I cannot find his details anywhere. Do farmers class themselves as sole traders or do they register their financials elsewhere?

Don't get you? 90% of farmers are sole traders. Their accounts are between themselves, their accountant and Revenue, nobody else.

You have to find a different route.

Grants received are posted online somewhere.

What sort of legal verification would you need their accounts for. Perhaps you could give more details and we could suggest an alternate verification procedure.
