MARKET LEADERS IN ECONOMIC CRIME PREVENTION

At BDO, we are a market leader in supporting our clients in responding to this legislation. We have worked with well over 150 clients across all industries and of all sizes. This includes leisure and hospitality, global engineering firms, the medical sector, media, construction, retail and financial services. Our team are at the forefront of responding to the legislation and have good insight into HMRC’s broader thinking. We were present as an accountancy representative on the inaugural meeting of the newly formed Economic Crime Strategic Board chaired by the Home Secretary and Chancellor alongside CEOs and chief executives from the banking institutions Barclays, Lloyds and Santander as well as senior representatives from UK Finance, the National Crime Agency (NCA) and the Solicitors Regulation Authority, Accountants Affinity Group and National Association of Estate Agents. Our team have also delivered presentations at the Institute of Money Laundering Prevention Offices and separately with HMRC’s Financial Crime team at events and forums. We work with rapidly growing entrepreneurial clients and FTSE100s. No one engagement is the same, although we work hard to provide a consistent level of assurance to our clients so that they can demonstrate a defence to the legislation.
