• EY Cyprus continues its tradition in raising awareness on frequent regulatory, tax and VAT updates and developing principles via a new series of practical sessions
• Knowledge applicability enhancement remains at the forefront of EY Cyprus’ tax and legal education initiative, through interactive workshops that cover both technical and professional communication (soft) skills

Concentrating on practicality, sessions are delivered by a dedicated team of trainers certified by the Human Resource Development Authority of Cyprus (HRDA-ΑΝΑΔ), the EY Global Academy and the Cyprus Bar Association. With the use of modern technology, case studies, team exercises and quizzes, attendees can interactively engage, in a safe environment, in resolving tax and legal issues expected in their daily work.

In addition to multi-enterprise programs, EY Cyprus provides specialized seminars that can also be subsidized by the HRDA, tailored to the specific circumstances of the companies, and the needs of their staff, as they arise after a thorough study of these organizations. Also, to meet local and international needs, CY Cyprus expands its services by offering flexible, remote access through live streaming, video-on-demand and web-based learning.

Philippos Raptopoulos, Head of Tax and Legal Services at EY Cyprus, notes: “We have introduced this tax and legal education initiative, responding to the needs of our clients and the general public for ongoing information and training, to keep abreast of developments. Our purpose at EY is to help build a better working world, and with that in mind, we address the most common business challenges, which are usually focused on tax and legal compliance, through the provision of valuable practical knowledge”.

George Liasis, Partner and Head of Indirect Tax Services at EY Cyprus, dealing with the most rapidly evolving tax fields, such as VAT and consumption taxes, highlights: “As the domestic and international tax and regulatory framework is changing daily, the question arises as to how businesses are responding to unexpected developments. We strive to answer this question by promoting and developing useful knowledge tools for companies and their executives operating in the jurisdiction Cyprus”.

Panayiotis Thrasyvoulou, Associate Partner and Head of People Advisory Services at EY Cyprus, underlines: "EY has established itself as a prime provider of professional education and development.
