Course Details

Navigating the data protection legislation (UK GDPR) is crucial for accountants and bookkeepers, who handle vast amounts of sensitive client data. This webinar will address the specific challenges you face, from data retention to subject access requests. Increased data breaches and evolving regulatory scrutiny have made compliance non-negotiable, risking significant financial penalties and reputational damage. By attending, you'll gain practical strategies to streamline your UK GDPR processes, enhance client trust through demonstrated compliance measures, and ultimately add significant value to your practice by offering compliant and secure services.

 

Mark Burnett will cover the following topics during this webinar: 

  • Recent Enforcement Actions
  • Lawful basis, and generic terms
  • The seven Principles of the GDPR
  • Data Subject Rights
  • Data Breaches

 

By attending this session, you will gain a comprehensive understanding of the Data Protection Act’s obligations for accounting practices, enabling you to implement and maintain robust compliance, and to prepare for responding to subject access requests and handling breaches, ensuring compliance in terms of documentation is always up to date, thereby protecting your clients' information.
