Share Scheme Manual - SSM10.7

Discrepancies


If the information provided by Employee Share Schemes Unit or the accounts inspector and the SA return do not agree you will need to decide what further compliance action is needed.

Small differences in the market value of the shares may be because the employee has deducted the real or notional cost of selling the shares in arriving at the market value. See SSM3.14.

If the shares are unlisted you will need to check the value offered with Shares Valuation Division before finally accepting the return. Any discrepancy on valuation of unlisted shares can be taken up with SVD in the first instance. SSM7.6.

If the transaction returned on the SA pages does not appear to reconcile with the information held, then the Employee Share Schemes Unit may be able to provide further advice. This may resolve the problem, or may confirm that there are grounds for an enquiry. A copy of the share scheme pages and, if the information did not originate in the Employee Share Schemes Unit, a copy of the third party information should be attached to the request for advice. The submission should also state any time limits which must be complied with in order to open an enquiry or other constraints.
