CA daily briefing: Thursday 9 January 2020

By Hilde Oesterkloeft, ICAS

9 January 2020

Your essential briefing of the morning's top news stories.

Good morning, Hilde Oesterkloeft here to give you today's news from ICAS and around the world.

Spotlight on ICAS

Following the publication of Sir Donald Brydon’s final report on his Independent Review into the Quality and Effectiveness of Audit, Anne Adrain summarise his proposals on Alternative Performance Measures and Key Performance Indicators.

Donald Drysdale studies a recommendation that corporation tax be devolved to Scotland, but finds it unattractive. The views expressed are his own and not necessarily those of ICAS.

Susan Cattell explains why all incorporated charities, regardless of size, need to think about the corporate criminal offence of failing to prevent the criminal facilitation of tax evasion - and highlights the publication of some guidance which might help small charities.
