SUMMARY:Webinar: Trade & Finance: Is Your General Ledger a Hidden Customs L
 iability?
DESCRIPTION:As customs authorities continue to evolve their audit approache
 s\, the focus is no longer limited to import declarations and customs entr
 ies. HMRC and EU auditors are increasingly examining General Ledger accoun
 ts\, bank records\, transfer pricing arrangements\, and intercompany agree
 ments to assess whether customs values have been declared correctly.\nFor 
 many organisations\, this represents a significant shift in customs compli
 ance expectations and highlights the growing need for Finance and Trade te
 ams to work together.\nThis practical\, practitioner-led webinar with ITM 
 Specialist Douglas Mackay will explore how financial records can create cu
 stoms valuation risks\, where businesses commonly encounter issues\, and w
 hat steps can be taken to strengthen controls before an audit takes place.
 \n\nWhat You'll Learn\nDuring this session\, we will cover:\n\n\n 	Why the
  General Ledger has become a central focus of customs valuation audits\n 	
 The five accounting errors most commonly linked to duty reassessments\n 	H
 ow to conduct an Import-to-Accounts Reconciliation\n 	Techniques for ident
 ifying discrepancies between customs declarations and financial records\n 
 	How to control the audit narrative through effective documentation and mo
 nitoring\n 	Building a PDCA (Plan-Do-Check-Act) monitoring framework that 
 Finance and Trade teams can jointly own\n\nWhy This Matters\nCustoms autho
 rities are increasingly connecting accounting records with import activity
  to validate declared customs values. Businesses that fail to identify dis
 crepancies between their financial and customs data may face unexpected du
 ty assessments\, penalties\, and prolonged audit activity.\nBy understandi
 ng how customs auditors review financial information\, organisations can i
 mprove compliance\, reduce risk\, and demonstrate stronger governance.\n\n
 Who Should Attend?\nThis webinar is particularly relevant for:\n\n\n 	Fina
 nce Directors\n 	Financial Controllers\n 	Finance Managers\n 	Customs and 
 Trade Compliance Professionals\n 	Import and Export Managers\n 	Internal A
 uditors\n 	Tax and Indirect Tax Specialists\n 	Supply Chain Professionals\
 n 	Business Leaders responsible for international trade operations\n\nSecu
 re Your Place\nWhether you work in Finance\, Trade Compliance\, Customs\, 
 Tax\, or Supply Chain\, this session will provide valuable insight into th
 e growing relationship between financial reporting and customs compliance.
