  As an Assurance Officer I review businesses’ VAT records to ensure their liabilities are correct. At Higher Officer level the cases that I work with are more complex with potential for higher liabilities. I give VAT advice to the business, supporting them to improve their VAT Accounting. By working collaboratively, I can reduce risks and disputes.As a senior member of the team, I coach my colleagues so that they focus on key risks, understand customer records and can navigate complex legislation. I am the local Consultant for the Tour Operator’s Margin Scheme, the legislation for which is more complicated than standard VAT accounting and requires a different approach. Show less
