SESCA town groups centre on the major towns in the area
They provide members locally with cost effective CPE, as well as a valuable forum for discussion and networking.
There are currently 3 active town groups:
Guildford Town Group
The Guildford Town Group of SESCA provides a programme of evening lectures on subjects of topical and practical importance covering tax, legal and accounting issues affecting accountants in practice, business, charities and education.

Some of you may not be aware that as a chartered accountant student you are automatically a member of the South Eastern Chartered Accountant Student Society, SECASS.
Firm representatives
We are looking to recruit representatives from firms to help publicise events that SECASS will be holding. If you are organised and like being the first to know what is going on, and would be willing to publicise our events within your firm, please get in contact with the committee.
It is not too much commitment; just putting up posters and emailing a bit of encouragement, and passing feedback on to us from time to time.
