Course Details

Data Protection laws in the UK require all organisations that handle personal data to have a policy and an understanding that demonstrates how they uphold their legal obligations.


This extends to accountants because you can identify your clients and often their personal circumstances, you may have staff and use service providers to assist you in running your business. This course provides the foundation to those requirements. 

 

In this course Mark Burnett covers the following topics:

  • The specific laws we must consider including the new Data Use and Access Act 2025
  • The Principles of data protection
  • How to apply the lawful bases for different processing activities 
  • The Information rights, how do they apply and when
  • International transfers of personal data, where do you store your information?
  • What is a data breach and what do if you have one
