Description
Accountants' Guide to Risk Management is a practical, one-stop guide to all aspects of risk management. It brings together a variety of disparate primary sources. This title examines risk management from two different perspectives: practice management, covering the internal controls and checks an accountancy firm must put in place and client service - the provision of risk management strategies for clients. Providing the most up-to-date legislation and procedures available, the book also fully covers the Proceeds of Crime Act 2000 - explaining what this means for the accountant, and what procedures they should put in place to deal with it. Written by an industry expert, this invaluable text will also help to ensure the the accountant provides added value consultancy for their clients.
