  *Group bookings for 3 or more participants available.

  BACKGROUND INFORMATION

  The obligations of AML/CFT subject persons extend to the duty to remain vigilant to the possibility of their services being exploited to facilitate those ML/TF activities that are carried out through the use of funds which are illegitimately sourced from tax evasion or oher tax crimes. For the proper performance of these obligations, it is important for subject persons to have a sufficient level of understanding of the manner in which tax evasion and other tax crimes can actually manifest; therefore allowing the subject person to understand key tax crime typologies, and recognise the high-risk indicators thereof.

  Specific topics to be covered during the session

  1. An introduction to the obligations incumbent upon subject persons, particularly in relation to their duty to be vigilant to the specific ML/TF risks posed by tax evasion and other tax crimes;
  2. Key notions on tax planning, tax avoidance, and tax evasion, and the relevance of local and international regulation;
  3. The notion of tax advice as a relevant activity and the reporting obligations of subject persons in relation thereto;
  4. A walkthrough of essential red flags and high-risk indicators of tax crimes;
  5. Key tax crime typologies and specific high-risk indicators thereof;
  6. A practical analysis of tax crimes through the use of case studies.

  Why is the session relevance to our members?

  The scope of AML/CFT obligations extend to the duty to recognise key indicators of tax evasion and other tax crimes. This session will allow attendees to ensure that they are able to properly apply their AML/CFT functions and responsibility, on the basis of a solid understanding.
  Attendees should come out of the session with a solid foundational understanding of how tax is relevant to AML, and vice-versa, and of how specific behavioural indicators can manifest into circumstances that require reporting or other forms of AML/CFT mitigation.

  Target Audience

  Given the treatment of audit and accountancy services as relevant activities for the purposes of the PMLFTR, the notions to be covered in these sessions will find application for a very broad scope of attendees, but especially those who are particularly involved in ensuring continuous compliance with AML/CFT obligations.

  Auditors, accountants, lawyers, and other persons working within the financial sector.

  Speaker's Profile

  Gianluca is a manager within the Tax team at Deloitte Malta, specialising in AML/CFT and related areas of regulation. Since joining Deloitte, Gianluca has advised on AML/CFT considerations applicable to circumstances pertaining to potential tax crimes, and on the ML/TF risk exposure of high-profile persons within the Maltese gaming ecosystem.

  Students: €30.00

  BACKGROUND INFORMATION

  The balance between ethics and economic activity persists as the major dilemma for accountants and auditors. Ethical considerations apply whether or not members of the profession are employees or employed. We are guided by the Code of Ethics and Independence to overcome the sometimes-undesirable situations which we may find ourselves in. However there is no limit to what situations we may have to face and the Code does not purport to provide us with an exhaustive list of what and what not to do and how. The International Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (including International Independence Standards) (the Code) sets out fundamental principles of ethics for professional accountants, reflecting the profession’s recognition of its public interest responsibility. The Code also provides a conceptual framework to identify, evaluate and address threats to compliance with the Code’s principles, and where applicable, to independence. Accordingly, a lot depends on the practicing accountants frame of mind, professionalism and sense of respect to one’s work, the clients as well as society at large.
  Dilemmas always existed, still exist and will continue to exist because no amount of rules, standards and regulations will change our inner self. Unfortunately only accidents may stand a chance of bringing change and even these may fade with the passage of time which is known to have the tendency to heal. We ignore ethical dilemmas at our own risk and irresponsibly at the risk of the general public interest. Time may heal but it does not erase the harm and damage that we may cause if we act wrongly in the face of ethical challenges.
  We show leadership not with our technical prowess or connections but mainly with our ethical stance. We show leadership with exemplary resolution of ethical dilemmas. 

  This event will provide us with an opportunity to delve into the conceptual framework for ethics and will prod us to think about how we would best approach ethical dilemmas in our daily professional life.

  
  

  Topics on the agenda

  • The Code of Ethics

  • Independence Standards

  • The conceptual framework for ethical conduct

  • The fundamental principles of ethics

  • Non-Compliance with laws and regulations

  TARGET AUDIENCE

  This event can be attended by accountants who practice both in business and in the profession as auditors or advisors in either warranted or non-warranted activities. Given the need for our clients and employers to understand better our profession this session will also be of use to those receiving our services. In addition, members of stakeholders relying on the output of accountants such as banks, regulators, government departments, unions and agencies would also benefit from this session. Investors would also be welcome to better understand what influences the accountants work when delivering to those in charge of their money.

  WHY IS THE SESSION OF RELEVANCE TO OUR MEMBERS?

  In our working life we have more opportunity to practice and do business than think about how we carry out our responsibilities safely and sustainably.  We do not give sufficient weight to the force of ethics on our well being and that of our clients and society at large but the prevalence of ethics for pathways to wellbeing is undisputable.  The fundamental principles in the Code of Ethics are not school material but practice material.  The conceptual framework adopted by the Code is not for ignoring as secondary but to serve as a focal point in what really matters in our practices whether we are serving clients or serving employers.  Our profession will be better and more widely respected if we place high on our agenda the fundamental principles of ethics and more; this transcends any other objective in our professional life.  This secures our personal and the professions’ unchallenged sustainability as well as it will serve as a major challenge to the flow of lawsuits and their outcomes against members of our profession.

  BACKGROUND INFORMATION

  Peter Drucker is quoted as saying that “In turbulent times, the first task of management is to make sure of the institution’s capacity for survival, to make sure of its structural strength and soundness, of its capacity to survive a blow, to adapt to sudden change, and to avail itself of new opportunities.” However there are many business leaders who run with the wrong idea that when things get very uncertain, business and strategic planning become useless. The truth lies in the fact that the type and methods used to plan ahead need to be adapted to include a wider range of scenarios.
  

  Topics on the agenda

  Introduction : Insights on Strategic Planning in Turbulent Times

  • Scenario Planning and the Search for Coincidences and Differences

  • Reflecting on Scenario Practice; New Forms of Coherence

  • The Disruptive Aspect of Turbulence

  • Scenarios Providing Clarity to Address Turbulence

  • New Realities in Scenario Thinking and Practice.

  Why is the session of relevance to our members?

  Many MIA members are financial controllers or CFOs of leading businesses in Malta. Some of them even sit on various boards. It is very useful for all to make sure that strategic planning and scenario planning is being used well and extensively as we are now going through a sustained period of heightened turbulence.
  

  Target Audience

  All persons owning or in a leadership position in a business.

  BACKGROUND INFORMATION

  On 4 April 2023, several amendments to the VAT and Income Tax legislation which were announced in the Malta Budget 2023 speech last October, were enacted through the Budget Measure Implementation Act, 2023 (Act XII of 2023). Hence it is of utmost importance that one is aware of such amendments to the Maltese VAT and Income Tax legislation and the impact which such changes may have together with any action which needs to be taken to ensure full and timely compliance with the new amended provisions. Failure to do so might prove to be costly resulting in potential interest and penalties and other punitive actions which may be taken by the competent authorities.
  Earlier on during March 2023 two manuals were issued by the CFR relating to the taxation of Rental Income and Income from Part Time work. The said manuals cover various aspects including how the tax is to be calculated, when is the tax to be paid, applicable deductions and also the declaration of the said taxes. It is important for all effected parties to be aware of these latest updated guidance in order to ensure that any tax covered by the said manual is being accounted for, declared and paid properly and in a timely manner.

  Topics on the agenda

  • VAT – Recapitulative Statements and late filing penalties

  • VAT – Information required to combat VAT Fraud and late filing penalties (CESOP - Central Electronic System Of Payment information)

  • Income Tax – Article 31D ITA and other Rental income provisions
  • Income Tax – Article 90A ITA Income from Part time work

  Why is the session of relevance to our members?

  Attendance is encouraged since it will enable attendees to:

  • identify which are the main changes emanating from this new legislation and guidance as well as the effected parties

  • determine the respective VAT and income Tax Implications

  • establish whether any action needs to be taken in order to ensure proper and timely compliance

  Target Audience

  This course is ideal both to all financial professionals and supporting staff (directors, accountants, lawyers, financial professionals, accounting students, financial clerks/staff) who deal with VAT and Income Tax compliance and advisory.
