If you or your company have been selected for a Revenue, NERA, or Law Society inspection, you should contact us as soon as you receive the notification as we can help by reviewing your affairs and making any necessary disclosures in advance in order to help reduce any penalties or tax interest that may arise as a result of our findings. We will be available to you on the day and will liaise with the relevant authorities on your behalf until the case is closed.

Law Society Reports

We prepare and submit Law Society reports in accordance with Law Society Regulations. It is vital that the reporting accountant knows how to prepare and submit the annual report; in addition, it is of as much importance that the reporting accountant understands the content of such report.
