Back row (l-e): John Munnelly, Chartered Accountants Ireland; Ian Browne, Chartered Accountants Ireland; Conall O’Halloran President of Chartered Accountants Ireland; Eugene Hillery of Tableau and Michael Ellis of UiPath.

On 16 September, Sarah Ryan, Trainee Chartered Accountant at EisnerAmper Ireland, attended the launch of a new partnership between Chartered Accountants Ireland and leading software providers UiPath, Tableau and Alteryx. From the end of September 2019, more than 1,300 students per year will begin to study and develop practical skills in Artificial Intelligence (AI), Robotic Process Automation (RPA), Data preparation and Data analytics, Blockchain and Cryptocurrencies as part of a shake-up of the Institute’s education programme for final year students.

Attending the launch, the Minister for Finance, Public Expenditure & Reform, Paschal Donohoe, TD, welcomed the partnership noting, “Ireland has the potential to be a global leader and location for innovation in financial and technology services. I welcome the collaboration between Chartered Accountants Ireland and UiPath, Tableau and Alteryx to meet the evolving needs of Ireland’s financial services sector. This programme will ensure that as technology shapes the sector over time, Ireland will continue to have a talent pool of people skilled and available to business and industry.”

Sarah Ryan was delighted to represent EisnerAmper Ireland at the launch event and to meet with Minister Donohue, President of Chartered Accountants Ireland, Conall O’Halloran, and representatives from UiPath, Tableau and Alteryx.

The partnership will create new highly skilled graduates ready to fill in-demand roles in industry and private practice, many of which did not exist five years ago as firms increase their own investment in new technologies to service client work with greater efficiency, accuracy and insight.  Currently, 70% of the Institute’s graduates already work in the industry as in-house advisors to some of Ireland’s largest technology, finance, aviation and energy companies.

At EisnerAmper, we design and deliver business & compliance solutions to make trade happen.

Domestic and international businesses face significant regulatory, economic and financial challenges while the rise of FinTech, RegTech and other solutions present new opportunities.

EisnerAmper Ireland’s Blood Donation with the Irish Blood Transfusion Service

Blood Donation | Irish Blood Transfusion Service | CSR | EisnerAmper Ireland

On Wednesday 14 August 2019, a number of EisnerAmper Ireland staff members visited the Irish Blood Transfusion Service in their Stillorgan clinic to donate blood. We were delighted to be able to donate and help such an important cause. Staff members were offered a ‘work ferry service‘ between our office and the clinic to attend their donation session, organised by the Stillorgan clinic.

It is vital to donate blood as 1 in 4 people will need a blood transfusion at some stage in their lives and only 3% of the eligible Irish population are currently giving blood. One donation is capable of saving up to three lives and you are able to donate every 3 months.

The shelf life of blood is only 35 days and 3,000 units of blood is needed each week so consider donating blood today, find out if you are eligible here.

EisnerAmper Ireland, we deliver solutions to support our community.

Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is integral to how we do business and manage interactions, not just with our employees and clients but also our wider community and society as a whole.  As a professional services firm, demonstrating ethical high performance in all aspects of our work and how we run our firm is fundamental to our success.  Learn more about our CSR policy here and our CSR initiatives here.

Tips and Gratuities – Payroll Considerations and Legislation Changes

Tips and Gratuities Payroll Considerations and Legislation Changes Image

What Are Tips And Gratuities?

Tips and gratuities have been defined as ‘money exchanged from customer to service provider which is not legally required by the agreement for purchase of the service’ (Casey, 1998, as cited in LPC NO. 10, 2018). Generally speaking, they are relatively low value payments given by customers to workers in the service and hospitality industries in excess of the fee due for the transaction which has taken place.  The frequency and value of such payments is entirely up to the customer.

Current Practices In Relation To Tips And Gratuities

Tips and gratuities are not specifically covered under the Payment of Wages Act 1991, however the Revenue Tax & Duty Manual Part 42-04-35A states that tips ‘paid to the employer and subsequently paid out to an employee should be included in pay for the income tax week or month in which they are paid out.’  This means that tips and gratuities paid to the employer and subsequently paid to the employee should be considered as pay for PAYE purposes and taxed accordingly, although the National Minimum Wage Act 2000 prevents employers from including these payments in the calculation of the National Minimum Wage.  A service charge included as part of the bill should also be taxed as pay if it is paid out to an employee, but unlike tips, these payments can be included in the calculation of minimum wage.

From a wider taxation point of view, it’s worth pointing out that a service charge which is shown on the bill is subject to VAT at the reduced rate of 13.5%, however, tips and gratuities offered voluntarily by the customer are outside of the scope of VAT.

Tips And GratuitiesCurrent Issues

Currently there is no legislation which obliges employers to pass on any tips received by them to their staff, therefore a customer has no way of knowing if the tip they left was actually given to the intended recipient(s) and the worker has no protection if their employer chooses to keep some or all of the tips left by customers.

Tips and Gratuity Payroll Image | Payroll Services Insights

Proposed New Measures In Relation To Tips And Gratuities

Proposed new measures announced by the Minister for Employment Affairs and Social Protection, Regina Doherty TD, aimed at ensuring employees receive the tips due to them and providing protections for low paid workers, are expected to include the following:

  • The Payment of Wages Act 1991 will be amended to ensure that tips and gratuities cannot be used to make up contractual rates of pay; and
  • Employers will be obliged to clearly display their policy on how tips, gratuities and service charges are distributed.

Source: welfare.ie.

When Will The New Tips And Gratuities Measures Be Implemented?

It is currently unclear as to how soon the proposed measures will be introduced, however there was an announcement on 8 July 2019 which stated that the Government has given approval on a draft Heads of a Bill to amend the Payment of Wages Act 1991, which allows the Minister’s Department to draft the required legislation.

EisnerAmper Ireland Credit Union Head of Finance Certificate – 2019 Graduation

Credit Union Head of Finance Course graduation 2019 | Financial Services | EisnerAmper Ireland

On Thursday 18 July 2019, EisnerAmper Ireland held a graduation ceremony for its Credit Union Head of Finance course graduates.

Frank Keane, Partner and Head of EisnerAmper Ireland’s Training & Consulting team provided a course comprised of 6 x 3-hour sessions delivered over a 9-week period in March – May held in Chartered Accountants House. The course was tailored to the needs of Credit Union Head of Finance role holders in the current regulatory environment. As part of the Central Bank of Ireland’s increased focus on the strategic capabilities of Credit Unions (CU’s) and their management, the role of CU Head of Finance is now subject to more intensive regulatory supervision. Consequently, the CU Head of Finance is expected to have a high level of knowledge and skills to perform their tasks and demonstrate their development. This course has been specially designed to develop and consolidate the competencies of a Credit Union Head of Finance.

The aim of the course was not only to provide Heads of Finance with a comprehensive understanding of the current regulatory context within Credit Unions, but also to create a community for ongoing peer learning facilitated by EisnerAmper.

At EisnerAmper, we design business & compliance solutions to make trade happen.

We provide Training & Consulting services to clients including government departments, regulatory authorities, banks, asset management firms, insurance companies, credit unions, professional bodies, educational institutions and leading law firms.

Management Development Programme - July 2019 Workshop

As part of our Management Development Programme, EisnerAmper Ireland welcomed James Muldowney, an experienced leader in international advisory services, commercial strategy, corporate development and M&A, who delivered a highly relevant and insightful workshop for our participants.

As a graduate of University College Dublin and Harvard Business School, James has 25 years’ international experience, holding leadership positions with McKinsey & Co Inc, General Electric, C&C Group PLC and Irelandia Aviation.

Over the course of the session, we learned about James’ approach to, and experience of, developing and implementing growth strategies for some of the world’s leading companies.

James focused primarily on two growth strategy frameworks – ‘Staircases for Growth’ and ‘Rolling Back the Years’ – models which he frequently uses when advising clients on the development and implementation of their corporate strategies.

We also got some invaluable insight into James’ experience of working with McKinsey and General Electric, which added some very interesting colour to the session.

We care about business and we care about the people we work with in business.

EisnerAmper Ireland has a world-class focus on personal growth and development. We recognise that our people and our skills are key to EisnerAmper Ireland achieving our vision of being recognised as Ireland’s leading professional services firm and our approach to education and training reflects this.
