MILAN : Independent audit firm Deloitte said amended accounts filed by Juventus provided an accurate overview of the Serie A soccer club's financial position but took issue with the size of the losses recorded in the past two seasons.The finances of the most successful club in Italian soccer history are under scrutiny by prosecutors in Italy as well as stock market and sporting authorities over alleged irregularities in player trading and salary payments.
