Government policy and regulation have a profound impact on the accountancy profession and the businesses it serves. Accountancy Today covers government-related developments including budget announcements, changes to tax and compliance rules, consultations by HM Treasury and HMRC, and updates from regulatory bodies such as the Financial Reporting Council (FRC) and Companies House. The publication also reports on government initiatives around apprenticeships, diversity and inclusion, and environmental regulations that influence how firms operate and advise clients.
