In St. John's, a small Antiguan firm that Stanford identified as the auditors of his offshore bank said on Thursday they had no information about ties to the tycoon.

The head of C.A.S. Hewlett & Co in the Antiguan capital said the firm's former chief executive, Charlesworth Hewlett, was the only person with possible knowledge of a relationship to Stanford. Hewlett died on January 1 at the age of 73.

"We are not privy to any information about any relationship with Stanford," the firm's head, who would identify herself only as Celia, told Reuters by telephone.

Britain's Evening Standard newspaper had reported that Hewlett's daughter Celia had taken on the responsibilities of the accounting firm from London after her father died.
