Danielle Stewart, Southern Region partner at accountants Baker Tilly, has been appointed by the department for Business, Innovation and Skills (BIS) as one of its two Company Law Red Tape Challenge champions.
In the role Danielle will review suggestions made to BIS for areas where existing company law regulations could be streamlined or reduced and represent these views to ministers in a Star Chamber.
Danielle said: “I am very excited by the opportunity to be an official Red Tape Challenge champion, because I have been deeply involved in the development of better, more appropriate regulation since the early 90s.
“As a practicing chartered accountant, I have often seen smaller businesses, in particular, struggle with the weight and complexity of bureaucracy applicable to them.”
The Red Tape Challenge gives the public the chance to comment on regulations applying to each specific sector of business, as well as on the general regulations applying across all sectors, with a view to reducing and simplifying those regulations.
