It would not be possible to cover everything you need to know about VAT in a week let alone a single day.  This course therefore aims to explain a few basic concepts, and highlight the areas of difficulty where you may need to take additional advice.

This event is being hosted by the TRAC Development Group (TDG). It is a conference for TRAC practitioners to gain a better understanding of the current issues affecting TRAC.

The aim of the conference is; 'to update TRAC Managers and other institutional staff on current and future developments affecting TRAC and provide an opportunity for sharing knowledge and experiences'.  The conference will provide an opportunity for TRAC practitioners to debate issues and provide feedback to the TRAC Development Group (TDG).

This event is for HEI staff only. Those with a commercial interest in TRAC should contact Bob Rabone to discuss sponsorship opportunities.



This one day course has been designed specifically for BUFDG and the University sector.

It will take attendees through a series of individual and group exercises to provide an understanding of the differences between the P/L account, Balance Sheet and Cash Flow Statements; enable identification of cash flow needs and surpluses; appreciate counterparty risks; optimise interest revenue; and understand the concepts of wider treasury management policy.

The recent banking turmoil has moved treasury management policy and counterparty risk management to the top of the agenda.  Financial pressures continue with the worsening fiscal situations in many countries as evidenced by Greece and the credit rating downgrades of Spain and Portugal.

This course will take attendees through a series of individual and group exercises to provide insight into identifying liquidity and cash flow management; credit and counterparty risk management; market risk management; the different types of debt instrument; and how this can be pulled together in a balanced treasury risk management policy document.

Following the success of this course last year, BUFDG have decided to run an additional day in 2010.  As we are increasingly aware, HMRC are adopting a risk based approach to managing taxpayers, and HMRC have identified that one of the key risk areas for HEIs is PAYE. 

This course will give an overview of common PAYE issues (outside of the regular payroll), and make some suggestions for risk assessment and management.

We've all heard the horror stories about the impending cost of on-line filing.  Fortunately, we can all buy ourselves a bit of time if we submit our corporation tax returns for 2009/10 by the end of March 2011.  If HEIs took control of their own corporation tax in-house, they should be able to ensure they file before the deadline, and save a significant sum on professional fees at the same time.

This course aims to give participants the confidence to achieve this goal.
