Publisher's Synopsis
Now in its 26th edition, the essential Tolley's publication is the first point of reference for accountants, solicitors, company secretaries and all those involved in company law. Fully updated with all the latest company law developments and in an A-Z format, this practical guide will enable you to remain at the forefront of company legislation matters. New to this edition: * GDPR: The GDPR took effect in May and the UK's data protection laws are changing accordingly. Almost every business in the UK collects, keeps and accesses personal information about existing and potential customers, and so potentially faces stiff penalties for non-compliance. * Gender pay gap reporting: Since April 208, UK companies with at least 250 employees have been required to reveal data about the differences in pay between men and women. Roughly half of the UK workforce is affected by the new reporting rules. * MiFID II: A discussion of the wide-ranging and complex new framework for regulating European financial markets that took effect in January 2018.
