If your actions lead to anything being damaged or someone being injured; or any advice you provide or work you complete results in a client losing money, a claim could be made against you.

Professional Indemnity Insurance
This provides cover if you are accused of professional negligence, errors or omissions and giving bad advice. It will also cover you for any loss of documents, loss of data and a breach of confidentiality.

In today's rapidly evolving business environment, intangible assets have become central to a company's value and growth potential. Traditional accounting standards, however, have struggled to keep pace with the diverse and complex nature of these assets. Recognising this gap, the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and the UK Endorsement Board (UKEB) are embarking on a comprehensive review of IAS 38: Intangible Assets, a standard that has remained largely unchanged for over 26 years.
The UK government has been generous in supporting research and development (R&D) through tax relief schemes. However, with increased scrutiny from HMRC, many businesses are seeing their claims rejected, even after initial approval.
