Webinar: The Government Gives You 16 Days to Get this Insane Amount of Work Done by ChangeGPS

About This Webinar

You have 16 work days from 9 July to comply with the government's new Tax Agent Services (Code of Professional Conduct) Determination 2024.

If you don't get this done, you could be forced into the new mandatory breach reporting rules; if you get caught, they could take your tax agent licence away. We couldn't make this up if we tried.

The determination slaps even more over-regulation on you, and they don't care if you are a micro, mid-sized or large firm.

AND if you don't have these things in place by 1 August 2024 – is it possible that you will have to self-report yourself as a breach to the TPB? This is insanity!

One of the changes requires you to have a System of Quality management:" We've got your back here, we're going to give you one for free.

Join the webinar to get your complimentary System of Quality Management to help you comply with the new law.

Join ChangeGPS Founder Timothy Munro, General Manager David Boyar and Former Tax Institute President and Tax Lawyer Arthur Athanasiou to learn what you have to get done before 1 August 2024 to comply with the law - we hope you are sitting down because some of these are backdated 2 years:-
1. You must establish and maintain a system of quality management.
2. Retain all your interviews, files, opinions, assumptions, workpapers, logic, and decision-making advice for 5 years. This is not the same as the current 7-year client record-keeping rules. Now, the rules apply to YOU.
3. Ensure Competency for all services you offer and have objective evidence you are competent.
4. You must advise all current and prospective clients of any matter that could significantly influence the decision of a client to engage you or to continue to engage you to provide a tax agent service. This potentially includes any health issues, partnership disputes or staff shortages you have.

And before you say, "They'll never regulate this", consider that:-
1. It is the law, and
2. The TPB is getting more and more funding – we'll discuss the actual risk in the web event.

This webinar is brought to you by ChangeGPS and our friends, who care about how you run your practice.
