In today’s regulatory climate, organisations and professionals face increasing scrutiny not only for direct tax evasion, but also for facilitating tax evasion. Under the UK’s Criminal Finances Act 2017, an entity can face criminal liability for failing to prevent another person from aiding tax evasion.

This CPD-Certified eLearning course on Preventing Facilitation of Tax Evasion is specially designed to help professionals and organisations understand the legal, operational, and compliance risks associated with facilitation of tax evasion, and equip them with the knowledge and tools to prevent such risks. Through interactive modules, real-life examples, quizzes, and scenario exercises, learners will be able to detect red flags, apply internal controls, and adopt reporting procedures that protect both individuals and organisations from unintended liability.

By the end of this course, participants will be able to integrate anti–tax evasion measures into routine operations and make compliant, defensible decisions under legal pressure.
