About The Course

Does your organisation have “reasonable procedures” in place for avoiding facilitating tax evasion?

The Criminal Finances Act, passed by Parliament on 27th April 2017, creates a new corporate criminal offence for failing to prevent the facilitation of tax evasion. This places the responsibility on businesses to have “reasonable procedures” in place to ensure none of their employees or contractors are involved in helping someone evade their taxes anywhere in the world.

Guidance from HMRC advises reasonable procedures should be guided by the following 6 principles:

• Risk assessment
• Proportionality of risk-based prevention procedures
• Top level commitment
• Due diligence
• Communication and training
• Monitoring and review

This new course on tax evasion will give users an understanding of what “reasonable procedures” are and how to ensure your organisation can ensure compliance with the Criminal Finances Act. Users will also learn the difference between the terms “tax evasion”, “tax avoidance” and “tax mitigation” through interactive quizzes, relevant scenarios and case studies. The course also addresses the challenge of offshore tax jurisdictions and gives guidance on how to spot red flags. Organisations can create personalised guidance for their staff, with information about the what to do and who to contact when there is a concern of tax evasion from a client.

Course outcomes

• The relationship between tax evasion, tax avoidance and tax mitigation
• The social and economic effects of failing to prevent tax evasion
• Understand what is meant by “reasonable procedures”
• The penalties for committing an offence under the Criminal Finances Act
• Red flags for spotting facilitation of tax evasion

VinciWorks' diversity and harassment courses do more than simply cover business' obligations under the 2010 Equality Act. Our training tackles issues at the forefront of diversity and inclusion in the workplace. VinciWorks' diversity and harassment training suite includes both interactive story-based training and the traditional approach to e-learning.

MyStory: Diversity and inclusion at work

While there is a need to focus on the traditional compliance tools; better training, better policies, and better support, harassment is a topic that needs to look at the end point first and ask the toughest question: does this workplace encourage diversity? VinciWorks' story-based training was developed with the aim of transforming learning into a personal, awareness-raising experience rather than simply a tick-box exercise.

MyStory: Diversity and inclusion at work sheds light on stories of discrimination and harassment all too frequently experienced by people in the workplace. The course is designed to bring to life the real impact of equality and diversity through storytelling. It raises awareness of the prevalence and impact of diversity-related discrimination.

MyStory: Harassment and bullying at work

#MeToo launched a movement against sexual harassment through the simplest but bravest act of people sharing their stories. Women and men who had been targeted by predators, subjected to appalling behaviours and victimised by their harassers said "no more, enough is enough". They gave abusers nowhere to hide, and employers no room to shield the perpetrators.

This course has directly applied the lessons of the #MeToo movement and the wealth of research into why traditional sexual harassment training doesn’t work to create a brand new kind of anti-harassment experience. The course has both a US version and a UK version. The US version is built to comply with the New York State and City sexual harassment prevention laws coming into force in October 2018.

#MeToo launched a movement against sexual harassment through the simplest but bravest act of people sharing their stories. Women and men who had been targeted by predators, subjected to appalling behaviours and victimised by their harassers said "no more, enough is enough". They gave abusers nowhere to hide, and employers no room to shield the perpetrators.

The three concepts: Experience, Explore and Share

We’ve built the course with three main intersecting components: Experience, Explore and Share, with the "Seek help" function providing the guidance and resources for staff who wish to report inappropriate behavior. It’s up to the user to go through them at her or his own pace, and they can easily switch between the sections. The course has both a US version and a UK version, allowing users to select which is most appropriate for them.

Experience

Users are presented with striking accounts of bullying, harassment and sexual assault in the workplace. Whilst the stories are fictional, they are based on real events experienced by people every day.

Explore

This feature allows users to scroll through and explore the tweets, articles and videos which launched the #MeToo movement and helped it spread across the world.

Share

Users are offered the opportunity to anonymously and securely share their personal story, and, separately, can agree for what they share to be used in future versions of the course.

Diversity: A Practical Overview

Diversity training is an imperative first step to protecting the rights of individuals and advancing equality of opportunity for all. The course outlines the behaviours expected of all employees, the reasons to comply with those behaviours and the consequences of non-compliance. It is recommended for use as part of the onboarding process or as a regular refresher.

About The Course

About the course

Tax evasion is not going away. In fact, tax evasion enforcement is only ramping up. Increased fines, more investigations and additional rules and laws to comply with mean there’s never been a more important time to ensure everyone in your organisation is tax literate.

Criminal Finances Act: A Practical Overview focuses on upskilling all staff to have the tax literacy to understand the potential risks every business faces when it comes to the complex world of tax compliance. The course takes users through what they need to know in their role in order to understand what tax evasion is, how it occurs, how we are affected, and what they must do to stop it. The course begins with an interactive game that presents strategies people might use to evade tax.

Course overview

Alongside detailed information on reasonable procedures and industry-specific scenarios, the course presents users with an interactive game to help internalise the potential tripping points in their daily job which could result in facilitating tax evasion.

The course also addresses the challenge of offshore tax jurisdictions and gives guidance on how to spot red flags. Organisations can create personalised guidance for their staff, with information about what to do and who to contact when there is a concern of tax evasion from a client. The course begins with a “course builder” that generates a course for each user based on their jurisdiction, industry and level of risk in their role. Within seconds, the course is configured into one of several versions.
