Tax, PAYE errors

[rubysapphy]

Associates of my husbands charged my husband's company with PAYE for three other companies. This went unpaid, and has only recently come to my husband and his fellow-directors' attention.
The accountants can substantiate the 'errors', but there seems to be no urgency to re-allocate the liabilites to the correct companies.
How can this be done, and how quickly?
Has anyone had any other similar problem?

How did they charge the company - via an invoice or some other means? If it's an invoice it's just a case of entering a credit note to cancel it out.

If it's by some other means then will be showing as a liability on the balance sheet so will need a journal or something doing to reverse it off - would have thought the accountants should sort that out though?

Thank you missspeedy;
Apparently the accountants raised the 'p5's'? to HMRC and seem to be 'trying to meet' with HMRC to sort out a reallocation.
