Sometimes this will involve working with external advisors and reviewing advice received to ensure that it is appropriate and aligned with business’s facts and circumstances; and
    • Providing advice to insolvency practitioners on the direct tax consequences of their intended actions including asset and business sales. Sometimes this will involve working with an incumbent finance function and other times not.
  • Working with our Financial Advisory colleagues, in particular the Insolvency Delivery Team, to understand the progression of the insolvency case and to help develop timetables to ensure that the tax filing obligations are met ahead of any intended case closure; and
  • Contributing to the technical and personal development training of the broader team.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
