Join a Special Interest Group (SIG)

The valuation conferences keep me up to date on relevant topics and I have found the speakers to be engaging and insightful.

As a Chartered Accountant in practice with a growing number of medical clients, attendance at Healthcare conferences is essential to keep up to date with developments in an increasingly specialist field and for very helpful networking with fellow professionals.

Conferences are consistently helpful and informative, covering topical and relevant issues while providing the opportunity to meet other professionals in the same field. Membership of the group is certainly worthwhile and I would say it is part of being seen to be ‘playing the game’.

As a decision maker, I need to keep abreast of policy developments and have them presented in a succinct manner; membership of the group does this.

With the past year providing a tougher environment for interims, membership to the group has proved even more useful. The seminars provide a great opportunity to discuss common areas of interest with fellow interims and gain constructive ideas.

I cannot think of a reason why a chartered accountant who acts for even one farming client should not be a member. I regularly attend the conference and I always find the newsletter extremely informative and an excellent read; it always includes something relevant to what I am doing that month.
