Remember, Remember… Modern Slavery Statements Are Due By September

Qu.1: Does the Modern Slavery Act 2015 ("MODSA") apply to your organisation? (If you are unsure see the "Who?" section below or contact us).

Qu.2: Is your organisation's financial year end on 31 March 2016?

If you answered "yes" to both questions then your organisation is required to publish a modern slavery statement by September 2016.

Who?

MODSA will apply to your commercial organisation if:

• it has a total annual turnover of £36 million or more;
• it carries on business in the UK; and
• its financial year end was on or after 31 March 2016.

Those organisations that do not meet the above requirements may still be required to assist in the preparation of statements where they form part of the supply chain of a larger organisation.
