KPMG on the need for a Code of Conduct

January 14th, 2008

KPMG have issued a press release on the OECD meeting in South Africa saying:

An OECD study into the role that tax advisers play in the use of tax minimisation techniques by large companies has recommended that governments should attempt to reduce the demand for aggressive tax planning by encouraging a wider tripartite relationship between revenue bodies, taxpayers and tax advisers. A crucial plank of this should be to build mutual trust between large corporate taxpayers and tax authorities.

That’s what we’ve tried to reflect in our Code of Conduct. Will they now debate it with us?

    Excuse me, but are not accountants, lawyers and bankers the real cause of this issue?

    KPMG added the spin

    You’re right, as ever, Chris
