IAB

IAB IAB are a leading professional and awarding body of bookkeepers and accounting professionals.

The IAB are a global membership community for accountants and bookkeepers, supporting both employed professionals and those in self-employed practice with regulated qualifications, CPD, AML Supervision, and business guidance to enable them to succeed. We are a supervising and supportive partner improving and protecting public interests, so that only qualified individuals provide bookkeeping services. We offer IAB bookkeeping and accounting qualifications for all stages including distance learning courses to enable individuals to study in their own time from the comfort of their home. This is especially important for people wishing to change their career and become a bookkeeper without taking the leap too early. An IAB bookkeeping qualification can open up windows of opportunities to grow and develop your skills that you can provide to a vast range of businesses across all industry sectors. Many individuals gain all levels of qualification and become self-employed. A self-employed bookkeeper or accountant has the flexibility of working the hours they choose, working from home if preferred or in an office environment. Our page is a community for students, bookkeepers and IAB members to share their knowledge of IAB and the bookkeeping industry.

✨ The First MTD Quarter Is Done. What Happens Next?
📅 Wednesday 23rd September at 11am
📍 Sign up here: https://meet.zoho.com/iecu-vkc-gkf

The first quarterly MTD filing deadline has now passed. For many firms/practices, that raises a new question: what should happen next? Join Coconut for a practical session designed specifically for accountants and bookkeepers supporting sole traders and landlords under Making Tax Digital for Income Tax.

We'll look at what we've learned from the first filing period, common issues affecting clients, what HMRC expects practices to be focusing on now, and how to build a scalable process ahead of the next quarterly deadline. You'll also see how Coconut helps practices onboard, manage and support sole trader clients without creating additional administrative burden.

Running order: -
1. Lessons from the First Filing Period
2. The Reality for Practices: What's Happening on the Ground?
3. Managing Sole Trader Clients Efficiently
4. The Next 90 Days: Practice Action Plan

Changes could be on the horizon for the tax treatment of company reorganisations.

Following HMRC’s consultation on modernising the tax framework for company distributions to shareholders, some of the proposals could significantly change the way certain reorganisations are approached.

Join Croner, one of our Member Benefits Partners, for an upcoming webinar with Senior Tax Consultant James Butterworth, who will explore the proposed changes and what they could mean in practice.
