Post Office ‘Horizon’ problems – and now ‘Capture’?

Posted on October 1, 2024October 1, 2024 by ecwlarcombe
Problems with Horizon software – now problems before Horizon?  This is the report of the independent investigation into the ‘Capture’ accounting software – a review of findings on software developed by Post Office in the 1990s, which was meant to assist sub-postmasters with balancing and periodic reconciliations.

The report (provided by Kroll and published 30-9-2024), will support the government in determining whether postmasters have faced detriment due to the Capture system, and what steps should be taken.
