Finance Act 2009 introduced provisions to make the Senior Accounting Officers (SAO) of large UK companies personally responsible for ensuring and certifying that appropriate tax accounting arrangements are established and maintained. When first announced, the exact scope of the legislation was unclear, and so this caused some concern amongst university FDs. However HMRC soon clarified the situation and [perhaps anomalously] the rules do not apply to charitable trusts, Charter Bodies and Industrial and Provident societies ie the rules do not apply to most universities. However, the rules do apply to all limited companies where the turnover exceeds £200 million, or the balance sheet total exceeds £2 billion (including turnover and balance sheet totals of subsidiaries) ie the rules could apply to those universities who are companies limited by guarantee.
The reason for raising this topic again is that I have been alerted by Paul Knight from BDO that he believes that some universities which are limited companies have assumed that they are not caught by the rules, when in fact they should consider whether they apply.
The other reason for highlighting SAO is that Paul has been working with a number of charities and HMRC to clarify the definition of turnover for the purposes of the Senior Accounting Office Rules. H
I’m receiving a growing creep of messages like, ‘if people are stupid enough to (insert issue) it’s their own fault’. But is it? If people are genuinely stupid, is it really their fault – should they not be protected too? And what about dyslexics, those with mental health issues, those suffering with senility, the blind and more – do they all get what they deserve too…?
Last night I was on Watchdog, while the majority of people were supportive of my piece, here’s two Tweets that weren’t…
Shove your ‘Mini-Armchair Revolution’ up your arse. People should pay attention to what they are doing. Idiots!”
“I’m sorry but if someone is stupid enough to sign up for something they don’t need then it’s their own fault!”
In fact it wasn’t about ‘signing up’ that was the point, it was on online travel companies who pre-select expensive travel insurance as added extras leaving many paying by default. This specifically contravenes EU au
The U.S. Department of Commerce reports housing starts are up 15% for September, beating economists’ predictions and bringing some good news to the country’s beleaguered real estate market. Experts point to several reasons for the upswing, most notably a 53% increase in starts for rental units to meet increased rental demand. Single-family home starts are also up slightly and stocks are rising for homebuilders, all of which have contributed to 658,000 starts, outperforming predictions for the month by 68,000 units. For more on this continue reading the following article from TheStreet. The health of the housing market rests on one key foundation: demand. The higher the number of consumers looking for a new home, the more robust the housing market becomes and the higher property prices climb. That’s why economists are breaking out the pom-poms over Wednesday’s U.S. Commerce Department report announcing a 15% upswing in housing starts — or the number of new residential construction projects — in September.

Many consumers have little idea that even for car insurance quotes they can be substantially helped by their free credit reports. Usually the car insurance providers will assess the risk factors in providing insurances to any of the prospective clients whether for their person, homes, and cars, the three most important subjects of insurance coverage. In granting insurances, most companies will rely on the FICO scores and credit report of the consumer concerned and that will determine the most important aspect of the insurance quotes, the premium rates.
Insurance companies feel that drivers and owners with poor credit scores are more likely to file claims in comparison to the ones having good credit scores. More than 40% of the claims come from people with poor credit record. Read more…
Before I give you my free offer today I wanted to quickly recap the past week that we had around here.
On Monday we looked at how you can master credit cards in college without being a dork. This post was designed to show you the secrets of using a credit card like a stud. You don’t need to be a dork to know how to use a credit card or how to manage your money.
On Tuesday we got into talking about legacy. I wanted to know what legacy will you leave behind? I also wanted to hear about what was holding you back.
On Wednesday I was excited to share a story about my friend Bohdan and how he was able to pay off his credit card debt, quit his job, and find a sweet gig on Facebook. This was a colossal post with an extremely personal post. If you haven’t read it yet, what the hell are you waiting for?
