Its' been a weird ass day at work. Nuffin happening. I've even caught up on the filing and shredding. Next week could be brutal or could be a wasteland - atm we are just waiting to see. Might go home early.
The entire accounting profession is holding its breath for the implementation of the Anti Money Laundering (AML) rules that kick in on Saturday. If your accountant hasn't contacted you about this, they probably will soon. Cos they have to verify your identity on a regular basis before they can do anything more than process your tax return. And we have to verify their identity before we can do anything for them too. The double handling of simple processes is going to be the true debacle imo. We've automated as much as we can as permitted by the legislation, but there's a limit to what we can do in that respect.
