Third party implementation: from novelty to necessity?
Article Abstract:
Third party implementation, a service offered by computer service bureaus, offers businesses access to expertise in the software package market and in installing and implementing major ledger systems. In-house information systems departments are usually inadequate to implement major systems due to the increasing sophistication of software packages and their lack of spare capacity. Third parties offer a business the advantages of impartial advice and the expertise and resources to see a project through. Computer bureaus offer: a realistic assessment of costs and scope of projects; proper forecasts of activities and costs; and management discipline.

Protecting the family business: any plans drawn up to minimise IHT liability should be flexible, simple and relevant to the family circumstances. They should also adress the issue of what will happen to the client's business interests
Article Abstract:
The Inland Revenue regards an individual or couple as wealthy if their assets exceed 150,000 pounds sterling, with 40% of assets over that threshold being liable to inheritance tax. Plans to minimise the effects of inheritance tax should be flexible and simple and suited to the family circumstances. Issues involved such as a family business and what would happen to shares in the event of a death must be addressed.
