Welcome to the new look Clyde & Co accountants'
newsletter. In this and forthcoming editions, we will look at a
range of issues affecting accounting firms, with a core focus on
liability and regulatory exposures. We will also consider the wider
context in which firms wrestle with exposure risks (for example,
the interface with employment, and the growing threat to
professional services firms both in the UK and overseas from cyber
liability and data breach) as well as the knock-on effects of
developments affecting audit/accountancy clients.
In this first edition, in addition to introducing two key
liability themes, to which we will return in future editions, we
offer a practical guide for accountancy firms to the shared
parental leave legislation coming into force next year, accompanied
by a digest of some recent cases of the last 12 months in the core
areas of liability, regulation and tax.
