Whatever the outcome of leaving the EU we will have new ways of trading, accounting for those trades and dealing with the additional paperwork. This jaunt through the outcomes and eventualities of trading with our neighbours will help you understand the impact of the new regimes and how to record and evidence the transactions. We will look at Rules of Origin and Free Trade Agreements, examining how they impact on business and everyday life. When to access a Free Trade Agreement will soon be on the 'to-do lists' of many CEOs across the country, whatever size their business.
