This document discusses the Warsaw legal market and factors for law firms considering entering it. It notes that while some large international firms have recently opened Warsaw offices to use it as a base for the Central and Eastern Europe region, other incumbent firms see the market as overcrowded. New entrants will face strong competition from established Polish firms. The document analyzes factors driving some firms to enter Warsaw, such as Poland's growing economy and active capital markets. However, it also notes the market is mature and saturated, and that new entrants will need to differentiate themselves and not expect to quickly take market share from incumbents. Success will depend on strategic positioning and relationship-building rather than relying solely on a global brand.

The UK pension landscape is undergoing rapid changes driven by an aging population, poor investment returns, and new regulations. Auto-enrollment is increasing workplace pension coverage, especially among younger, lower-paid private sector employees. At the same time, pension liberalization is shifting people from defined benefit to defined contribution plans and allowing more flexibility in accessing retirement funds. However, this new environment also poses risks if contributions decline or people withdraw too much from pensions too quickly. Upcoming changes to tax rules could also significantly impact the pension market.
Uk residential property landscape 2015IRN Research
The document provides an overview of the UK residential property market landscape. It finds that the market is characterized by a lack of housing supply relative to demand, with housebuilding and land supply inadequate to meet needs. This fundamental disequilibrium, combined with government policies that both help and hinder supply, has led to house prices continuing to rise faster than incomes. As a result, home ownership is declining as private renting increases, concentrating housing wealth in fewer hands and making it harder for first-time buyers to enter the market. The report also expects ongoing difficulties, with the market in 2020 still not having recovered from the effects of the financial crisis.

The market has seen steady growth over the long term, with turnover increasing by around £6 million per month.

Access Brazil, Russia & India Programme Review 7 April 2015Nynzi Maung
The North East Chamber of Commerce ran a two-year export program called the Access Programme to help over 100 local businesses explore or expand into the markets of Brazil, Russia, and India. The program included seminars, market visits, case studies of successful companies, and support for obtaining export funding. The manager reflected that many local businesses were already finding success in these markets and that they provide significant opportunities, despite some common prejudices around their perceived difficulty, corruption, and sophistication. The program helped companies understand the real business environments and identify opportunities in sectors like infrastructure, manufacturing, and consumer goods.

- 41% of exporting businesses in the region reported increased overseas sales in Q3 2011, compared to 33% reporting increased domestic sales. Exporting has helped some businesses be more resilient during the economic downturn.
- Manufacturers are more likely to export than service providers. Large businesses are also more likely to export than small or micro-businesses.
- The top international markets for the region's exporters are other EU countries, Germany, and France. Exporters selling to Europe and the US are more confident than those selling to emerging markets like China and India.

though "The future for MNCs in China" report was released in 2012 by KMPG, the content is still valid and shed the light for MNCs planning ahead...what are the key points from the report:
1 Rising labor cost
2 Shortage of Talent
3 Pay-for-performance is not working in China bcos of the Income tax system, ppl prefers low income to take back home.
4 Capital Market has not yet opened.
5 Biz license issue
6 Lack of innovation and management skills for future leaders in China
7 JV - has become popular, cos of license issue (if you cant beat them, join them: MNCs and Local companies leverage each other).

Key findings
In 2015, just over 41,000 firms were active in the accountancy and allied services market,
collectively employing over 300,000 individuals Over eight-in-ten firms engaged in the market
undertook accountancy and audit activities.
It’s a dynamic market with many new businesses entering the market each year and the number
of firms having risen by around 26% between 2011 and 2015.
Most accountancy and allied service firms serve a local catchment area with only the larger
firms serving a regional or national market. As such, most firms active in the market are small in
size: over 90% employ fewer than 10 people but the big four players – PWC, Deloitte, EY and
KPMG – collectively account for 42% of the industry turnover. More than four-in-ten firms are
based in London and the South East.
Accountancy and allied services firms in the UK have a collective turnover of over £23 billion
with accountancy and audit firms representing more than three-quarters of the sales.
Market turnover moves closely in sync with the trends in the UK economy. Between 2012 and
2015, turnover grew at an annual average rate of 3.5% but in 2016 IRN Research anticipate
growth of just 0.3%.
While the UK market is very self-contained - firms export only around 10% of their services and
only 3% of the domestic market is supplied by imported services - Brexit is anticipated to have a
negative impact on the market with the scale of the Brexit hit varying according to the trade
deal the UK arranges with the EU.
By 2021, Brexit could cost firms between 3% (EEA style trade deal ) and 5% (WTO style trade
deal ) of their turnover. The biggest consumers of accountancy services in the UK are financial
and professionals services firms who will be hit by leaving the EU.
Important issues facing the market at the moment are: new audit rules (and audit rotation); the
move towards cloud-based accounting and the growing automation of accounts production; the
advent of online digital accounts from the HMRC; and the growing need for accountants to
move from being data producers to account consultants.

THE STRUCTURE OF THE MARKET
Over 40,000 companies with most being accountancy and audit firms
In 2015, just over 41,000 firms were active in the accountancy and allied services market, collectively
employing over 300,000 individuals. Over eight-in-ten firms engaged in the market undertook
accountancy and audit activities and employed around 75% of employees. Bookkeeping firms, while
smaller in number, employ a relatively larger number of people given the fact that there tends to be a
small number of large firms which skews upwards average employee numbers in this sector (see later in
this report).

26% rise in firm numbers since 2011
The number of firms in the accountancy and allied services market has risen by around 26% between
2011 and 2015. There has been an especially sharp rise in the number of bookkeepers (+75%) and tax
consultancies (+62%), while the number of accountancy and audit firms has risen by only 19%. As will
be shown later, most of these newbies are small operations.
One of the reasons for the relatively slow growth in the number of firms engaged in accountancy and
audit work is the drop in the number of audit firms recently. According to the Financial Reporting
Council, the number of audit firms registered with Recognised Supervisory Bodies (RSBs) has fallen in
recent years from 7,375 in the year ending 31st
December 2011 to 6,331 in the year ending 31st
December 2015. The change in regulations exempting more firms from the need to get audited explains
this.

It’s a market where small firms predominate but the big firms dominate
It is clear that most accountancy firms are small in size, given that on average the typical firm employs
less than 8 people. Over 90% of accountancy and allied services firms employ fewer than 10 people and
85% of firms turn over less than £250,000 per year. There are only 90 firms in the market employing
more than 250 people and less than 300 turning over more than £5 million annually.

As the figure below indicates, the accountancy and audit sector (like the whole accountancy and allied
services market) is very lop-sided in terms of the scale of the companies that operate. The top 50
companies, representing just 0.1% of the accountancy and audit firms in the UK, account for 70% of the

It’s a market exhibiting dynamism
The accountancy and allied services market exhibits a high degree of dynamism. This is particularly so
for the bookkeeping and tax consultancy areas of the market where over four-in-ten firms were
established less than four years ago. The accounting and auditing sector is more stable with almost half
of firms having been established for 10 years or more, but even in this sector around one-third of
businesses are less than four years old.
In 2015, most companies operating in the accountancy and audit sector are limited companies (25,275)
with 6,755 being sole proprietors. Just over two thousand (2,165) are partnerships with just 60 being
either non-profit-making or mutual associations, or public sector bodies. Most of the largest
accountancy firms are limited liability partnerships.

Over four-in-ten firms are based in London and the South East…
Most accountancy and allied service firms serve a local catchment area with only the larger firms serving
a regional or national market. The importance of London and the South East is clear across all the
sectors of the market, being at its highest for tax consultancy. In fact, Southern England as a whole
(London, South East and South West) accounts for around half of all accountancy and allied services
firms in the UK.
While London and the South East account for 43% of accountancy and audit business these areas
collectively generated 59% of the UK turnover of accountancy and audit companies in 2015.

MARKET SIZE AND TRENDS
It’s an industry that turns over more than £23 billion
Accountancy and allied services firms in the UK have a collective turnover of over £23 billion. Turnover
rose steadily between 2012 and 2015 but is likely to see only modest growth in 2016. Data from the first
four months of 2016, prior to the Brexit vote, already showed turnover slowing rapidly (growth of just
0.5% compared with the same period of 2015) and the uncertainty caused by the UK’s decision to leave
the EU is unlikely to have improved this situation for the rest of 2016. Between 2012 and 2015, turnover
grew at an annual average rate of 3.5% but in 2016 IRN Research anticipate growth of just 0.3%

The turnover of accountancy an allied services firms tend to move in tandem with economic activity in
the UK, with some slight deviations year on year. The long-run trend in accountancy turnover matches
closely the long-run trend of the UK economy. This indicates that any slowdown in the UK economy as a
result of the Brexit vote will have a direct impact on the accountancy and allied services market.

A market that was hard hit by the global financial crisis
The global financial crisis caused a significant drip in the turnover of accountancy and allied services
firms. Between 2007 and 2009, the turnover of firms dropped by almost 4%, causing a £620 million drop
in revenue. However, the market recovered quickly and in 2010 turnover grew by over 14%.
Accountancy and audit represents the bulk of the market
Accountancy and audit firms represent more than three-quarters of the revenue of the market, with
bookkeeping firms accounting for around 17% of revenue, leaving tax consultancies with around 5% of
the market. The structure of the market has not changed much in recent years, although over 2012 to
2014 accountancy and audit firms may have lost share of the market given the rapid growth in
bookkeeping and tax consultancy firms. This would have been offset by the fact that the largest players
in the market – the large accountancy and audit firms – have probably enjoyed above average revenue
growth recently.

In 2016, IRN Research expects the economic slowdown to hit all three sectors of the market, especially
the accountancy and audit sector.
Post-Brexit world will be a tougher operating environment
In IRN Research’s report The Impact of Brexit on Consumer Financial Services, IRN laid out three
scenarios for the future course of the UK economy:
Scenario 1 (No-Brexit): Brexit did not happen and the economy grows in the fashion laid out by
the Office of Budget Responsibility in its March 2016 forecasts
Scenario 2 (EEA): The UK arranges a European Economic Area style deal with the EU
Scenario 3 (WTO): The UK arranges a World Trade Organisation style deal with the EU
Scenarios 2 and 3 assume a trade deal is arranged or at least largely nailed down by the end of 2018.
Using these scenarios, IRN has laid out three future paths for the accountancy and allied services
market. The main negative impact of Brexit is felt between 2016 and 2018 because businesses will be in
the dark about the future trade relationship. After 2018 the uncertainty declines and the impact of the
trade arrangements take over.
Under a WTO deal by 2021, the turnover of accountancy and allied firms over the 2016-2021 period will
be £6.4 billion lower than it would have been without Brexit (£154 billion without Brexit and £149.3
billion with Brexit) while under an EEA style deal it will be £4.7 billion lower (£154 billion without Brexit
and £147.6 billion with Brexit). In other words,by 2021 Brexit could cost firms between 3% (EEA) and 4%
(WTO) of their business.

THE STRUCTURE OF DEMAND AND SUPPLY
The official input and output figures produced by the ONS provide a useful guide to how the supply of
accountancy and allied services to the UK market is structured and which sectors are the major users of
accountancy services. Unfortunately, the last set of data relates to 2013 so is out of date but it still
provides a useful introduction to the market.
Around 10% of accountancy and allied services are exported
The figure below shows the structure of accountancy supply and demand valued at producer prices. The
figures here do not match the turnover figures given earlier because of timing differences and because
the table below deals with value added, therefore, looks at a firm’s sales less intermediate goods and
services purchased.
The input/output data shows that accountancy and allied services firms export around 10% of their
output and that the UK accountancy market is overwhelmingly supplied by domestic firms: imports
account for only around 3% of the final market.

Financial and professional services firms the main users of accountancy services
The input output tables for 2013 show that two sectors of the economy are the most important for the
sales of accountancy services. Financial service firms and professional, scientific and technical firms both
account for over 20% of the UK accountancy market. These two sectors plus the wholesale and retail

THE MAJOR PLAYERS
The Big Four lead the market
The lopsided nature of the accountant and allied services market was outlined earlier in this report.
Given what was said earlier, it is no surprise that collectively, the Big Four accountancy firms in the UK
account for almost 42% of the turnover of all accountancy and allied services firms in the UK and almost
53% of the turnover of firms in the accountancy and audit sector. The Big Four led by PwC and Deloitte
are the only accountancy and audit firms to control more than 10% of the market.

KEY MARKET DEVELOPMENTS
Audit Rotation and new rules
From 17th
June 2016, new rules came into force making it compulsory for firms to rotate their auditors
(subject to some transitional arrangements). The Regulation only applies to the audit of ‘Public Interest
Entities’ (‘PIEs’), defined as all companies listed on an EU regulated market plus unlisted banking and
insurance companies and groups, unless they are small. PIEs must tender their statutory audit at least
every ten years and change their auditor every 20 years.
The Regulation also imposes additional independence requirements for PIE audits, over and above those
laid down by the Financial Reporting Council and the ethical codes laid out by accounting bodies.
The new rules impose
Limits to the proportion of non-audit fees that can be incurred in a year, by reference to the
average audit fee.
The prohibition of certain activities for PIE audits. The prohibited activities are similar to those
banned activities laid out in current standards but are broader with fewer exceptions.
Therefore, almost all tax work, unless it has no material effect on the financial statements being
audited, is prohibited as is work on the design and implementation of internal controls over
financial information and systems undertaken 12 months before the auditor is appointed. There
are also are more restrictions on internal audit, corporate finance and management accounting
activities.
The result of these changes has been a rotation of auditors among some very large corporations and
organisations, although most of these changes have involved one Large Four accountancy firms being
swapped for another.
Even before the new rules were established, the number of practices providing audit services was falling
because of new regulations and legislation. Smaller audit firms have lost out, given that their main
clients – smaller businesses – have become except from having to have their accounts audited. From
2015, companies that meet two of the three following criteria no longer need an audit
• They have sales of less than or equal to £10.2m;
• They have a balance sheet total of less than or equal to £5.1m; or
• They have 50 employees or less
Cloud outsourcing of the accounting function.
Many accountancy firms are making large investments to offer their clients cloud based outsourced
accounting. This is in response to demand from mid-sized to large companies who are increasingly
looking to outsource or continue to outsource all or parts of their finance and accounting operations in
the near future.
21. The Accountancy and Allied Services Market
20 | P A G E
Increasingly outsourcing is growing in scope moving from the traditional (mainly offline) outsourcing of
payroll or benefits administration and moving to the outsourcing of multiple, inter-twined finance and
accounting processes. It remains the case, however, that outsourcing, cloud-based or not, is centered
on transactional processes, which are less likely to require a depth understanding or each individual
business and instead are more open to standardization and are more rules based.
Outsourcing is seen as a mean for clients to lower costs, speed up the generation of financial
information and free internal staff resources.
New services, such a Steam launched by Moore Stephens in 2016, allows businesses to view and drill
down into their financial data through one easy-to-use central hub and provide real-time reporting and
analytics to support better decision making.
From data provider to consultant
Within accountancy firms, the greater use of software and cloud based services means the production of
accounts and reports is quicker and involves less “grunt” work by accountancy staff. This is freeing the
time of accountants employed within accountancy firms, allowing them to move from being data
producers to accountancy consultants. Cloud based accountancy services can do only so much to help
firms automate their finance functions. The UK tax system, for example, remains complex, meaning
firms still require expert assistance to calculate their tax liabilities and meet their obligations. When the
“grunt work” is done by computers, accountants are free to offer personalised advice and consultancy
services to clients.
The public turns against tax planning
High profile examples of tax avoidance have turned the public and the firms that serve them against
aggressive tax avoidance. This has hit some tax consultancy firms and has made some larger clients
reluctant to engage in aggressive tax avoidance schemes.
Advent of online tax accounts by the HMRC from 2017
While many accountancy firms see the introduction of personal online tax accounts in 2017 as an
opportunity to gain more work, others were concerned that it could lead to an increase in DIY
accounting by many individuals and smaller businesses.
While self-assessment will be dropped, it will be replaced by quarterly online tax returns. Accountants
fear clients will not be willing to pay for accountancy services four times a year and instead will pay once
to get their initial online tax return filed and then try the DIY approach for subsequent filings. This could
hit the revenue of smaller firms over the longer-term and/or may cause them to lower their prices to
maintain and on-going relationship with their clients.
