Indeed, this is now better-achieved, as he can draw on real processing situations.Ian approaches education and communication very much from the perspective of how this will impact the software, the employer and the worker. So, whilst the legislation is vital, compliance and effective communication are paramount.Ian is Companion of the Institute for Certified Bookkeepers (ICB), committee member of the British Computer Society (BCS), a committee members of the ICAEW’s Tax Faculty and a Fellow member of the Chartered Institute of Payroll Professionals (CIPP).
