Performing chief functions in the company’s structures is connected with responsibility for its liabilities. It also involves a risk of becoming a victim of white-collar crime. White-collar crime refers to commercial offences. Tax authorities try to impose a model of objective liability to taxpayers for any breaches of tax provisions and make them responsible for acts of their contracting parties, and even agents of manufacturers if such acts might prove unfair. Therefore, the Client needs substantive support and expertise enabling cross-cutting assessment of all risks connected with assumed liability.
