The Approach & Purpose
- The “Boomerang” is a concept created by Shashi Matharu many years ago.
- She is the expert on the wordings and functionality of the Boomerangs and will offer telephone support, where needed.
- This was to overcome the challenges faced by the Client collating, providing, completing and giving information required by Avar to carry out the agreed assignments.
- It was also designed with Making Tax Digital (MTD) in mind.
- Further, they were designed to “Control” costs by ensuring the information provided was so done, in its entirety and completed, to the agreed time tables, in a timely manner and in a structured way, before the commencement of work by Avar.
