Conducting a regular business audit is a vital document that is needed to help monitor and inspect the financial situation of a company.

When this does happen, it is often difficult to determine whether it is defamation, libel, or slander and when exactly they become a criminal offence. There are many…
The UK’s Government’s 2018 waste management strategy for England set out ambitious waste reduction and sustainability targets for many sectors. By 2020, it was expected that 50 per cent of household waste should be recycled. The results of these targets are yet to be published. However, evidence suggests that the public continues to respond to these initiatives well. But while local authorities aim to combat domestic waste issues, another part of the public sector is going under the radar. The education sector is failing on waste, with figures suggesting that schools only recycle around 23 per cent of its waste.…

When it comes to defamation cases, determining what is defamation, libel, or slander is sometimes difficult. Defamation is the act of making a statement about someone that is spoken in an accusatory way and has the potential to ruin their reputation. However, deciding whether something is an act of defamation or just an opinion is sometimes difficult to judge. The statement “I think Megan is rude” is an opinion that cannot be proven either way. However, stating something like “I think Megan stole a car” is an accusation that alleges the person committed a criminal act. If this statement is…
The past year has been difficult for many of us, and is one we don’t want to repeat. This is especially true for key workers across the UK who have led the fight against the coronavirus.

NHS staff, educational professionals, and supermarket staff continued their work throughout 2020. Their dedication has been welcomed by the public and private sector organisations, who have aimed to show appreciation for their work.

Engineers are moving towards increasingly sustainable solutions. Government statistics show the contribution of waste by the construction, demolition, and excavation (CD&E) sector, accounts for 62 per cent of the UK’s total waste.

According to Which? approximately 1.1 million households in the UK aren’t connected to the National Gas Grid and, instead, rely on heating oil stored in a tank to heat their homes.
