    Remediation: Righting Wrongs and Restoring Trust
    Financial Services Remediation: Righting Wrongs and Restoring Trust
    The recent High Court tracker mortgage decision again brought sharply into focus the onerous nature of potential remediation exercises.

    Business Risk Services The Internal Audit Function: Post-pandemic challenges and priorities
    For many businesses, the COVID-19 pandemic’s manifestation as a black-swan event highlighted the shortcomings of the organisation’s risk awareness and risk management ability. In 2023 and beyond, the need for a trusted Internal Audit business partner, with a truly enterprise-wide risk lens, has emerged as a must-have rather than an optional extra. Knowing yourself, and in particular knowing which areas pose the greatest risks to your organisation are critical in today’s business and regulatory environment.

    People and Change The importance of people-led change in a technology implementation
    Technology plays a large part in the personal and professional lives of the majority of people. Not only is it an enabler to everyday business-as-usual tasks, but for most, they could not effectively do their job without it. So, while implementation of a new system can be transformational for your organisation, without adequate buy-in from your people, it can be difficult to land a new system successfully. We highlight four key ways you can use people-led change to achieve and sustain a successful system implementation.

    Tax and Legal VAT Import One Stop Shop – Latest Revenue Guidance on Joint and Several Liability for Intermediaries and Suppliers
    The EU VAT e-Commerce Package which came into effect from 1 July 2021 has been well publicised over the past 12 months. One particular aspect of the changes was in relation to VAT due on distance sales of goods imported from outside the EU - the previous low value consignment VAT relief is now abolished. This means that all goods are now subject to VAT (previously goods under €22 were not subject to VAT).
