Women in Tax and New Tax Professionals Committee - International Women's Day Male Allies Event

Tuesday 8 March 2022 | 12:00 – 13:15 GMT

PLEASE NOTE - this event was not recorded.

This event was aimed at men and women in the tax profession.

In this thought provoking event, the panel looked at breaking the bias in the tax profession around male allies.

Working towards a more equal world has never been so important. This is an overall society issue and in order to achieve true gender parity both men and women need to be on this journey.

How do we help get males allies on board in the tax profession to help achieve gender parity?
