Creditors have slammed their treatment following two big name gigs at Inverness Caledonian Thistle stadium.
Inverness Caley Thistle Concert Company is the firm behind bringing Andrea Bocelli and Duran Duran to the Highland capital for gigs on consecutive evenings in July.
But the firm has been said to have left sponsors short of cash following the gigs.
Chris Hannam, a health and safety manager is said to have been owed £7000 for his work.
He said: “I came up on good faith.
“We’ve been left out of pocket.”
A document seen by the Courier alleges that multiple firms have been informed that the company “exceeded its budget” during the performances.
Documents allege that a “lack of internal controls” led to costs spiralling – an issue some companies involved have already disputed, with legal action pending.
As a result, Dundee-based firm Ascot Tax has been brought in to try and resolve the issue.
It is understood Inverness Caley Thistle Concert Company and Inverness Caledonian Thistle are separate entities.
The firm has been asked for comment.
