The legal and regulatory framework

A refresher for the finance professional.

The busy finance professional who needs to keep up-to-date with the rapidly changing legal and regulatory framework will find this an ideal way to get up to speed with recent developments.

• An overview of the UK legal and regulatory framework and up-to-date knowledge of recent developments: essential as the legal and regulatory framework serves as the context for many of an accountant's responsibilities.
• An insight into how law, regulation and standards interact in certain areas.

Sources of more detailed information will be signposted.

This course could be combined with Commercial law issues for finance professionals, running the day afterwards.

The speaker will be drawn from a pool of qualified professionals who specialise in this subject. Having worked for leading organisations they will relate the course content to real life case studies.

The course will cover relevant law, regulations and standards across several topic areas including:

• GAAP reporting (UK and IFRS)
• boards/directors/corporate governance
• narrative reporting - the business review
• the external audit
• internal control
• fraud/money laundering
• administration.

There will also be a summary of any other significant developments from bodies such as the European Union, the Financial Reporting Council, the International Accounting Standards Board and the International Federation of Accountants.

The course will start at 9.30am, with registration and coffee from 9.00am, and end at 4.30pm. Lunch and refreshments are provided.
