Investor protection - which road for the profession?

Article Abstract:

Coincident with the forthcoming deregulation of the financial services industries in London (scheduled for October 1986, and nick-named 'the Big Bang'), the British government is considering stronger regulations of the industry in the form of investor protection laws. The investor protection laws, if passed, could mean regulation of accounting firms in Great Britain by the government. The economic consequences of the proposed laws are discussed, and the events leading to the new legislation are also explained.

The tip of the iceberg

Article Abstract:

The 1989 British National Budget contains tax measures of significant consequences to individuals and companies. More liberal pension funds qualifications will be enforced and new limits are set for permitted contributions made to personal pension regimes that cover self-employed individuals. Corporate tax rate will remain the same, but the reduced rate of 25% will be applied to profits up to 150,000 pounds sterling, and the marginal relief limit has gone up from 500,000 to 750,000 pounds sterling.
