    Non-MIA Members: €100.00
    Retired Members: €25.00
    Students: €40.00

    Background Information 

    The Maltese VAT Act provides for various punitive measures (penalties, interest, assessments etc.) to be imposed/issued in the eventuality that taxable persons fail to adhere with the various provisions of the Maltese VAT Act. Whilst certain VAT risks some practitioners are quite aware of, it often happens that one is not fully aware of other material VAT risks especially in new/one-off scenarios when one comes across new types of transactions, new client types, new set-ups, new companies, incorrect/late VAT returns, incorrect/late invoices, VAT inspections and similar situations.

    Objectives of this session

    The scope of the session is to first analyse in detail the main VAT risks which might lead to negative consequences if the applicable VAT provisions are not fulfilled. The session will then proceed with identifying and determining which consequences (penalties/interest/assessments) will be applicable when the applicable VAT provisions are not adhered to properly and why (including references to the various parts of the legislation which list down when such consequences are triggered and the applicable conditions). Finally the session will discuss practical tips and actions which may be taken by involved parties with a view to ensure that such VAT risks are minimised as much as possible.

    Topics on the agenda

    • VAT Risks (including risks pertaining to VAT Treatment, VAT Registrations, VAT Claimability, VAT Forms etc.)
    • VAT Consequences (Penalties, Interest, Assessments)
    • Practical Tips and Actions to minimise such VAT risks

    Target audience

    Professionals, Practitioners and other accounting staff members dealing with all VAT related issues including the determination of the vat treatment, handling of VAT invoices and other documentation, compilation and filing of vat returns and VAT payments

  • M2035 - Triggering Action through effective Internal Audit Reporting (Online)

    • 24 Jun 2020
    • 13:30 - 16:45
    • Online Webinar
    Register
    Registration Time: 13.15
    Sessions Time: 13.30 - 16.45 including a 15-minute break
    Speaker: Mr Giancarlo Millo 
    Venue: Online Webinar
    Participation Fees (The Institute is now accepting payments via Paypal)
    MIA Members: €40.00
    Non-MIA Members: €75.00
    Retired Members: €20.00
    Students: €30.00

    Background Information

    If you ask internal auditors why they write audit reports, some might answer that it is to communicate an engagement's objectives, scope and results. Others might state that it is to describe what the auditors found and to make recommendations for improvement. But the ultimate objective of internal audit reporting is not to describe what was found or to make recommendations for improvement. It is to persuade readers to take action.

    Objectives of the session:

    Impact is imperative, but not all internal auditors realise the difference that writing style can make to ensure corrective action is complete and timely. The content of a report informs readers, but writing style is what really motivates. The aim of this seminar is to highlight ways of how internal auditors can help ensure that their audit reports are effective – that they will not only change minds, but that they will create a call to action that gets results. The seminar shall also focus on the periodic reports through which the internal audit function communicates its overall progress to the Audit Committee. While the speaker will be sharing some of his tips for making internal audit reporting more persuasive, the participants will be welcome to put forward any other thoughts or suggestions they may have during the session.

    TOPICS ON THE AGENDA

    - Recognising the importance of thinking before writing.
    - Understanding the needs of readers and writers.
    - The components of the audit report.
    - The importance of identifying cause and impact of audit observations.
    - Advantages and disadvantages of different report formats.
    - How to improve writing quality.
    - Developing reports that are accurate, objective, clear, concise, constructive, complete, and timely.

    Target Audience:

    This seminar is targeted at internal audit practitioners and students.

    Speaker's Profile:

    Giancarlo Millo FIA, CPA, CIA, CISA, CRISC, MBA (Fin) is the Group Chief Internal Auditor at Mizzi Organisation, a conglomerate of business units spanning a broad portfolio of business interests and industry sectors including automotive, tourism and leisure, manufacturing and retail, real estate, and mechanical and engineering contracting.
