Clarium
For accountancy & audit practices

Automate your practice's GDPR documentation

Accountancy practices handle client financial data, payroll records, and HMRC submissions — all of which involve personal data. Clarium documents your processing activities accurately, without the overhead of a consultant.

The compliance challenge

Client financial data carries significant obligation

Tax returns, payroll records, financial statements, and audit working papers all contain personal data. Each service line — tax, audit, advisory — has different data categories and retention requirements.

Seasonal staff increase access control risk

Audit and tax busy periods bring temporary staff into contact with highly sensitive client data. Access controls and data handling procedures need to be documented and demonstrable.

HMRC and regulatory submissions involve personal data

Submitting data to HMRC, JFSC, or other regulators on behalf of clients is a processing activity that requires documentation — including the lawful basis and what data is shared.

How Clarium helps

Service-line documentation

Tax, audit, bookkeeping, payroll — each service line has distinct processing activities. Clarium documents them separately so your register is accurate rather than a generic catch-all.

Staff access and data minimisation

Document which staff roles access which client data categories. Seasonal and temporary staff arrangements are explicitly captured — demonstrating your data minimisation controls.

Practice management system mapping

Clarium maps your practice management software, cloud storage, payroll systems, and third-party tools as processors in your register. No more manually listing every system.
