Tax Risk Management & Governance
Prevent the Problem Before It Starts.
When HMRC examines your business, it’s not just about tax paid, it’s about tax governance. We help clients design, test and evidence robust tax controls that stand up to scrutiny and reduce future risk.
Whether you’re preparing for a Business Risk Review (BRR), managing Senior Accounting Officer (SAO) or Corporate Criminal Offence (CCO) obligations, or simply want to map blind spots before HMRC finds them, we bring clarity and structure.
Senior Accounting Officer (SAO) compliance reviews
We help you meet SAO obligations through developing Tax Risk & Control Matrices, designing your SAO compliance, assisting with tax controls testing and managing any potential SAO penalties.
Corporate Criminal Offence (CCO) prevention frameworks
We design and test “reasonable prevention procedures” to reduce CCO risk, including developing your CCO risk assessment, staff training, CCO policy, internal and external communications and testing of your CCO controls.
Tax Control Frameworks
We assess, design, or stress-test your Tax Control Framework to ensure it reflects your operational risk profile and is in line with HMRC’s good governance expectations.
Business Risk Review (BRR) preparation and strategy
We prepare clients for BRR with mock interviews, desktop reviews, risk scoring diagnostics and tactical planning helping you achieve or preserve your Low-Risk status.
Tax risk mapping for audit readiness
We provide one-off or ongoing tax risk maps, identifying exposures by business function, tax type, or jurisdiction, giving boards and in-house teams a clear view of blind spots.
