In the conduct of providing our professional services to clients, we may need to collect and use personal data about their directors, shareholders, partners, trustees, clients or customers or their employees, agents or contractors, which we will hold as a controller under the Data Protection Act 2018.
Please read the following statement; it will help you to understand how we use your personal data.

What personal data do we collect?
The type of personal data collected will depend on the nature of the engagement. In the course of carrying out our engagement for our client we may process personal data including your personal identification, name, address, email address, telephone numbers, roles and responsibilities, PPS numbers, details relating to contract of employment, salary information including credits and deductions, tax returns, bank account details, insurance details, invoices and company loan information.

While most personal data will be obtained from you directly or from our client, we may also perform background checks as part of our client onboarding procedures and continuous monitoring, and we will engage a third party service provider to assist with such checks.
Why do we process your personal data?
We may process your personal data in connection with our client on-boarding process, which includes background checks, in order to comply with our legal obligations in connection with the Criminal Justice (Money Laundering and Terrorist Financing) Act 2010, as amended by the Criminal Justice Act 2013 and as may be further amended and updated from time to time.
We may also process your personal data in connection with the professional services that we provide to our clients. In particular, where we provide audit and/or tax services to our clients we may be the controller of certain personal data that we process in order to undertake that service and meet our contractual and professional obligations.

We may be required to provide other audit firms with access to our audit files where they act as group auditors or successor auditors. We may also be requested to provide access to our audit files to potential investors or their advisors.
We may be required in certain circumstances, by law or by Regulations or by Professional Bodies, some of these may be located outside the European Economic Area (EEA), to which we belong, to make reports to regulatory and law enforcement authorities or to such bodies, or to disclose documents or information or take other action, as a result of information received by us or matters which come to our attention during the course of our engagement.
We may also be required to provide Regulatory Bodies, Grant Thornton International Limited or Professional Bodies with access to our work papers in order to facilitate monitoring inspections.
