The Bank told us that it had acted immediately to protect the taxpayers’ position by preventing Greensill from making any further loans under the schemes.56 The Bank engaged Ernst & Young (EY) between October 2020 and March 2021 to examine all eight of Greensill’s CLBILS loans.57 The Bank explained that its investigation considered both Greensill’s compliance with the scheme rules around lending to groups and more broadly “whether they were a prudent lender, whether they had fulfilled the standard of care, whether they had acted in good faith and whether they had brought the scheme into disrepute”. Following EY’s report, the Bank provisionally concluded that Greensill was in breach of the scheme rules. The Bank informed Greensill of its decision on 2 March 2021 via a ‘Letter of Concern’.58
