The aim of this course is to provide each participant with a clear understanding of the books and records that must be kept by businesses and in which format. As well as this participants will learn about their Revenue responsibilities as a business owner/manager, an understanding of how their business fits into the VAT and tax system and the associated obligations and deadlines. Sarah seeks to remove the ‘fear-factor’ associated with working with accounting and taxation and to break down the jargon into its most straight-forward form!
