TRUSTEES: Are You Properly Managing The Risks of Litigation and Compliance Penalties? 

DATES: Thursday, 21st June and Friday, 22nd June 2018

LOCATION: Regatta AD, The Pullman Hotel,

Corner Princes Street & Waterloo Quadrant, Auckland City 1143


Trustees are under increasing risk of potential litigation from co-trustees, beneficiaries and interested parties, not to mention exposure to penalties for non-compliance with regulatory obligations under AML, CRS and FATCA. 


Recent case law, tax/regulatory compliance developments and impending changes to legislation are enabling an expanded group of parties to question trustee decision making and penalise trustees for non-compliance.
