Practitioner update

Venue: Gomersal Park Hotel, Moor Lane, Gomersal, Cleckheaton, West Yorkshire, BD19 4LJ

Speaker: Stephen McAlpine

Today’s accountant in practice has to deal with constant technical change in order to continue servicing clients effectively. There are plenty of courses to introduce and explain those changes, but the rate and extent of change means there is little time to revisit previous developments or to look at broader practice administration issues. See website for ticket prices.

Laws and Regulations for the Practicing Accountant

Venue: Gomersal Park Hotel, Moor Lane, Gomersal, Cleckheaton, West Yorkshire, BD19 4LJ

Speaker: Andrew Güntert

Accountants in practice need familiarity with a wide range of laws and regulations, both those that have been in existence for some time (such as minimum wage, working time and data protection regulations) and those which are relatively new. This need arises firstly in the auditing context, where ISA+ 250A on the Consideration of Law and Regulations requires auditors to consider the implications of non-compliance and to carry out certain procedures. Secondly the accountant is the key adviser to clients on the relevant legislation they need to be aware of to run their businesses and finally the practice itself needs to comply with the appropriate statutory regulations. See website for ticket prices.
