The course is designed to provide delegates with an enhanced understanding of the background to the new UK laws concerning the criminal facilitation of tax evasion and what firms must do to protect themselves from the new corporate offence of failing to implement ‘reasonable’ procedures to prevent the facilitation of tax evasion by employees and ‘associates’. (Please note: the course is not designed to provide a detailed examination of tax offences or accounting practices). Using real-life case studies, exercises and learning from the blockchain technology experts, delegates will be encouraged to develop a practical understanding on how to manage this new corporate and ‘strict’ criminal liability. This course was developed and is run by The Great Chatwell Academy of Learning and brought to you in partnership with MLROs.com The Course will be suitable for: All operational risk professionals including financial crime compliance (FCC) and money laundering practitioners Audit, assurance risk and compliance analysts Persons regulated in non-banking sectors including high value dealers, money service bureaus and foreign exchange centres Persons wishing to enter the regulated sector, or who have recently joined Professionals from non-regulated sectors and public officials such as the police force or armed forces who wish to prepare for a career-change Course Overview and Expected Learning Outcomes The course explains the latest international developments concerning tax compliance, including FATCA, CRS and the Act, and why the payment of tax is important. Delegates will be provided with a high-level summary of some of the most significant forms of direct and indirect taxation for private individuals and corporate entities, and the laws that govern them. Particular emphasis will be placed upon the Act and the new corporate offences relating to UK and Overseas tax evasion, and delegates will be provided with an opportunity to apply the learning from the workshop to some real-life scenarios and tax-related activities. One of the critical learning outcomes will be to review and understand the six guiding principles of how a corporate entity must comply with the Act, and how to conduct a risk assessment in the workplace to identify the highest risks that must be managed more closely. It is anticipated that a key outcome and takeaway will be that delegates will be able to apply the learning in their own organisations, to support the firm to manage and mitigate the risk of facilitating tax evasion.
