The catalyst for cyber security maturity: moving beyond compliance
Everyone’s talking about ‘the CAF’. You’ll probably hear phrases like: ‘we’re getting the CAF’ or ‘we have to do the CAF,’ echoing around the workplaces deemed in scope. For many, it feels like just another compliance checklist; something cyber security teams must follow to prove they’re doing the right things to avoid becoming the next cyberattack headline. But that’s only one way to look at it; and it’s time to shift the narrative.
My Company Hasn't Paid CRA. Am I On The Hook?
Generally speaking, a corporation is a separate legal entity from its directors. This is a key difference between a corporation and a partnership or an unincorporated sole proprietorship. There are certain circumstances, however, where directors can face personal liability for a corporation's taxes. This post gives general answers to common questions about director's liability for taxes. This post is not intended as legal advice. A tax lawyer can provide you with advice about your specific situation.
Draft Rules Published For Tax "Crackdown" On Non-Compliant Short-Term Rentals
Canada's Department of Finance has released draft legislation and explanatory notes with the details of the government's plan to crack down, through the Income Tax Act, on non-compliant short-term rental properties. In a previous blog post, we discussed the potential GST consequences that may arise from changing the use of a short-term rental property to long-term residential purposes.
GST Consequences For Short-Term Rental Property Explained
In a previous article, we flagged the potential GST/HST consequences when a person returns a short-term rental property to long-term residential use. In this article, we will discuss those consequences in more detail. We will discuss four scenarios: Selling the property, renting the property to a long-term tenant, moving into the property personally, and leaving the property vacant. Please note this is only general information. The GST/HST rules for real estate are complicated.
Revenge is a dish best served cold and 10 other thoughts on the Argos beating B.C.
It could have been a statement-making, blowout win for the Toronto Argonauts. It also could have been a crushing, collapsing defeat. Instead, it was a feel-good, come-from-behind Toronto victory that featured a three-play, 70-yard touchdown drive in the final minutes, and ended, as so many games at BMO Field seem to, with a missed field goal. Here are my thoughts on the game. Revenge Is a Dish… The last time the Argos played the B.C. Lions, they were absolutely crushed.
ARONOVA QUARTERLY UPDATE - JULY 2021
Nearly a year and a half on from the first real reports of the coronavirus, the glimmer of normality is finally looking like it may actually become a reality. With nearly 78 million doses given and nearly 50% of the UK population fully vaccinated, we’re starting to believe that the 19th July will actually signal the end of lockdown! And it seems like not just us here at Aronova who are feeling this.
TRADE RECEIVABLES FINANCE AND SCF STILL OFFER GOOD RETURNS FOR INVESTORS
Supply chain finance has attracted bad press recently. But with sufficient supervision and transparency, both SCF and trade receivables finance can still offer profitable safe havens for investors. Recent bad press around certain forms of working capital finance has made some funders cautious about investing in assets they were excited about just months ago.
HOW A VOLATILE ECONOMY AND CHANGES IN BUYER BEHAVIOURS CAN INCREASE RISK AND FRAUD
The data coming out of the Covid-19 pandemic has shown significant changes in invoice payment behaviour. Companies of all sizes, and from various industry sectors, are slowing down payments and holding on to cash for longer. The uncertainty about the future means they are being much more cautious and looking to manage their risk and cash-flow as closely as possible to protect themselves as we move deeper into recession.
TECHNOLOGY IS NOW A COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE IN WORKING CAPITAL
To achieve success in the medium to long term, decision makers in financial services will need to decide how they are going to adopt new technology to compete. That’s one of the conclusions from a report by PwC called ‘Financial Services Technology 2020 and Beyond: Embracing Disruption’.
HOW LENDERS CAN UNLOCK THE OPPORTUNITY OF RECEIVABLES-BASED FINANCE
Too many banks and investment managers are missing out on the opportunity presented by working capital and receivables-based finance in the new economy. With many asset classes depressed, and low interest rates shrinking credit margins, diversification is more important than ever for big lenders keen to reverse or limit plunges in profits.

Inexpensive, simple, rapid diagnostics are necessary for efficient detection, treatment and mitigation of COVID‑19. Currently, the primary diagnostic tool being utilized is reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR).

Britain and the European Union can't agree. How will this affect investors?
Since Boris Johnson became the Prime Minister, Britain has in every possible way demonstrated a lack of fear towards a tough deal with the European Union. Over the years of its presence in the European space, Britain has successfully resisted imposition of labor market standards, subordination to the economic and political institutions of the EU, and the introduction of a single currency on the territory of the United Kingdom (which the UK was quite sceptical about).
The Regulatory Reporting Pendulum Swings Back to North America
As we slowly emerge from our socially distanced bubbles and contemplate the view beyond our own back garden towards the wider world again, we thought to cast our eyes stateside. More specifically, towards the North American regulatory reporting landscape. So why is that piquing our interest in particular? Well, pre-lockdown, quite a lot happened to suggest that this is where the action will be for the next few years.
Increasing the profitability of working capital programmes
Improvements in working capital management will enable all organisations to create value and enhance the way they operate. According to PWC, there is €1.2tr of excess working capital tied up on balance sheets. Those who release the blockages which hide this capital will be able to boost growth and create more potential for investment. Evaluating and structuring the programmes designed to release working capital can be a complex process and may involve many parties with different priorities.

The Belstaff x Sophnet. SS17 Capsule Collection combines western heritage with eastern streetwear
The BELSTAFF X SOPHNET. SS17 CAPSULE COLLECTION reworks Belstaff’s most iconic heritage pieces with a decidedly streetwear sensibility. The word ‘heritage’ has caught a bad rap over the last few years, over-indulged by brands searching for narrative and all too often without genuine foundation.
