A report into the collapse of Lehman Brothers criticises senior executives and auditor Ernst & Young for serious lapses that led to the firm's collapse.

The report says Lehman was insolvent for weeks before it went bankrupt, sparking a global financial meltdown.

It accuses management of "actionable balance sheet manipulation" and using accounting tricks to hide debts.

Ernst & Young said that its last audit of Lehman was "fairly presented" according to accounting rules.

The collapse of the 158-year-old investment bank in September 2008 was the world's largest bankruptcy.

Wall Street, the City of London, and the US and UK governments tried to organise a rescue, fearing - rightly - that Lehman's failure would set off a chain reaction around the globe.
