Course Overview

The greatest asset of an accounting firm is its people. Unfortunately, this also means that people can be one of its greatest legal risks. While compliance with employment laws can be daunting, even small efforts can mitigate risk. Any accountant with responsibility for managing people must understand and be aware of the legal responsibilities they have on behalf of their company. A good grounding in employment law provides both the knowledge and the confidence to handle situations with your staff where following a legal procedure is a requirement.
