A complete GDPR solution

A complete GDPR for Accountants solution designed by accountants for accountants.

Now promoted by the ACCA.

Designed and developed in association with Landmark accountancy practice development specialists.

With much of the work required already done for accountancy practices and built into a comprehensive solution for Accountants.

Why do I need to be concerned about the GDPR?

Simply, because from 25 May 2018 GDPR compliance is a legal requirement.

Putting aside the likelihood of significant penalties if you don’t comply,  your clients will be asking you as the 25 May 2018 deadline approaches, and thereafter, for assurance that you are GDPR compliant.

Any prospective new clients will likely be looking for a GDPR compliant practice.

You risk losing business if you are not already compliant particularly larger more knowledgeable organisations.

You clients will need this confirmation to complete their own GDPR obligations as inevitably, you are handling their personal data. Unless they are satisfied with your response they will look for a compliant advisor.

What is involved in achieving compliance?

At a minimum you will need to invest enough time and effort to complete the following tasks:

• Data audit – record, in detail, the personal data you keep.
• Data processing – record, in detail, how you process personal data.
• Risk management – Identify, assess and track risk to personal data.
• Inform data subjects – evidence that clients and others know what personal data you hold, privacy statements etc.
• Staff awareness  – train people in you organisation to be aware of their data security responsibilities.
• Breach reporting – be able to detect, log and report data breaches.
• Handling requests – have adequate processes to record, track, monitor and handle requests from data subjects.
• IT security – create and manage an effective information security policy including IT and website security.

What our customers are saying

Like lots of advisers I’ve been crawling around the net for hours getting really confused about GDPR, then when I came across your GDPR Workbook and Guides my stress levels dropped a long way, and even more so when I started using them and realised how straightforward they were to work through. I’ve posted a link for colleagues on the CIMA ‘members in practice’ LinkedIn group, in answer to a thread running there about how little practical info there was about GDPR.

Mike Tombs, TLA Business Services Ltd, 19 March 2018

I would like to thank you for providing the tailored GDR workbook and blog detailing your experience of completing the workbook.  It is a great comfort to myself as a sole practitioner who is attempting to become GDPR compliant on her own.  I don’t know what I would have done without you!

Jennifer Ashworth – 25 April 2018

I have had a brief look through the material and have to say I am slightly less fazed by the whole GDPR process as a result.
